I have used SuSE 7.0 on my AXi (Ultra Sparc IIi 333MHz) box and was very
pleased with the performance and stability. The big problems I ran into with
it were pretty much the core complaint I have with Linux. There are a lot of
code hackers out there writing apps for Linux. They proudly proclaim "It
runs on Linux!!" so my reply is "cool! I'll download and try!" when I do
this I find to my horror, yes it runs on Linux, if you have x86 hardware. I
have been forced to abandon Linux on my Sparc hardware since I cannot get
the software I want in either RPM or source that will build/work on the
Sparc.

Understand I am not bashing the Penguin. However until more work goes to
make the software more portable I will be forced to run the Penguin on x86
stuff only.
