It just so happens that I saw some Ultra30 machines running SuSE 7.3 for SPARC
recently, and it worked quite well. Came with KDE 2.2.1 (I think) and GNOME
1.4 and XFree86 4.1. I'd presume that the libraries and development
environment underneath would have to be current (and thus appropriate for
porting an application from other Linux environments) for it to be that
modern.
