Hi Tom,

Thank you very much for setting the record straight.  I guess
I kind of got a bit hot headed and probably should have thought
a bit more before posting.  I freely admit I don't know anything
at all about sparcs (although I have one sitting in the closet
at home and I'd like to learn).

For those of us who don't know any better.  Could you explain a
bit about what you have to do to port something like the 
intel version of redhat 7.3 to sparc?  I guess it's not just
a simple matter of recompiling everything for the sparc
architecture.  What more is involved?  What are the pitfalls,
etc?

Thanks,
Tanner
