    Linux on Sparc?

    I've finally gotten life in my old SparcStation 10 and was thinking of getting some distro of Linux for it.

    Do anyone of you know of a distro that will work on a low end Sparc?

    It's a sun4m architecture, 50 MHz TI Processor, 64MB Ram, 1GB HD.

    Installation over network must be possible due to the fact that I do not own a SCSI CDROM.

    System 2: P4 2.0, Intel 845, 1024MB Generic RAM, 80GB WD, XP Pro, Promise Ultra133 TX2, GF3 Ti500. Resides in a neat Compaq case.

    The Gentoo site has SPARC install instructions, so I guess there's that one.

      I think every major Linux distro has a SPARC architecure port. Search the web.

        Most distros have discarded support for the sun4m.

        I'm downloading Redhat 6.2 'Zoot' now and hope it will work.
