[TriLUG] sparc 4 hardware

[Greg Brown]

Is a Sparc4 system with 32 megs of ram and a 500 meg scsi drive even worth 
loading a Linux distro on?  I was thinking of using it as a firewall.  But 
here's what I don't recall - the Sparc4 had two ethernet ports - one DIX/AUI 
and one RJ-45.  Can I use both ports at the same time is it only one or the 
other in use at one time?

Assuming that I can use both ethernet ports can I load Mandrake 9.0 with only 
what is required to support routing and iptables and perhaps one or two other 
goodies?   Given the vintage of the hardware is this totally pointless?
