I have a SPARCstation 2 (I think...it's not here at the moment) that I'd like 
to have running Linux.  It is listed as a platform that runs Linux, but the 
last time I tried an install (when RH used to support SPARC), the installer 
hung almost immediately.  From http://www.ultralinux.org/, I found that 
"There are some kernel related memory management problems with sun4c. This is 
being worked on."  The page still says the same thing...so I suppose that 
it's not fixed.  Still, I only tried the one Linux distro, and I'd love to 
give it another try...maybe with debian or SuSE's SPARC distro.

Has anyone ever run Linux on a SPARCstation 2?
