[SLL] Best Linux for Sparc Ultra 10?

[Mark Foster]

 From http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1889644
What operating systems will run on it?

The most obvious choice is Solaris 
<http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=Solaris>. All versions work. 
Linux is another very good choice, supporting basically all the onboard 
hardware and most PCI expansion cards. FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD are 
reasonable choices too, particularly if you don't want or need X 
<http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=X>. For use as a desktop, 
though, Solaris 10 
<http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=Solaris%2010>, or a recent 
Linux distribution like Ubuntu 
<http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=Ubuntu> or Gentoo 
<http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=Gentoo> is probably the best bet.

I run FreeBSD-sparc w/ apache, postfix and more on my Sun E220 and am 
pretty happy with it.
