Works on most 4c and 4m machines without VME bus. Boots and is starting to be usable on 4u (UltraSparc's). Linux can be used for "real-world" work on some 4c and 4m machines, but ther's problems with some models and peripherals. The most up-to-date info on this can be gotten from browsing mailing-list archives and DejaNews. |
