 MR> Is there a Linux port that will run on a SparcIPC?

There is a generic SPARC port that works (last time I checked) on
sun4c and most sun4m machines.  There was talk about sun4u with
Alpha-like 64-bit enhancements.

There was negative talk about the sun4's (which really *NEEDS* Linux),
but if the sun3 works out, the two MMU's are nearly alike, so it should be
easy to port.
