[wplug] Linux Distribution for Sparc

The reason it won't boot from the CD is because of the CD-ROM drive. 
Put in a standard PC IDE drive and it should work fine.  I would
recommend using gentoo linux for Sparc instead of the other distros. 
In my experience with Ultra 10's and Linux, gentoo is the most
stable.

Subject: [wplug] Linux Distribution for Sparc


hello,

Does anyone know of a good distribution that will run on a sparc
processor? I've tried loading Mandrake for Sparc on an Ultra 10
workstation and a Netra T1 105 but I wasn't able to get to the
installation on either of them. They both failed trying to boot off
the CD. It was Mandrake 7.1 and I read somewhere that they stopped
releasing Sparc versions after this 7.1. I've heard that Suse and
Debian both make versions for Sparc but I'm wondering if there are
any others and which would install with the least of amount of
problems.

Thanks,
Scott
