Its a little on my IPX (but it do have dual heads ;) ), but it should run pretty nice on a 20. Sound works OK on recent kernels, though sound is too shoddy on my IPX to play mp3s :( . > Anything I should go look into for more info about installing it? Probably take a look at http://www.ultralinux.org/ for general Sparc port info, and http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc/ for Debian Sparc stuff. Oh looking further down the thread I see you've asked about netscape. Netscape support is a little shoddy. The only netscape available for Sparc Linux is pretty old. I want to say ~ 4.5, and its not available as a deb. Search the debian-sparc list for details on digging it up. Mozilla runs fine on Sparc Linux, though the version in Debian is a little old because of concerns about the crypto in newer versions . -- Jim Crumley | crumley at fields.space.umn.edu | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 |
