  I will say that I'm very impressed with the performance of Linux on
SPARC hardware.  I wish they'd put the same amount of effort into
optimizing their Alpha support...it's just plain SLOW.  If they
address this, a DS10 or DS20 running Linux might very well be desktop
nirvana.

  NO BASHING HERE, DAMMIT.
