Re: [TCLUG:6369] Sparc5?

Haha.. one of my roomie would call you guys heratics for putting linux on a
sparc system.  (he\'s a UE10k admin)  I keep telling him that it\'s possible to
have linux run faster than Solaris on a sparc box, but he doesn\'t belive me.

You also have to remember when dealing with the SS5,10,20 boxes.. there are a
wide range of CPU\'s that can be in the box. anything from a 33mhz sparc, to a
180mhz ROSS
