There's a big difference between running Linux on a SS20 and running it
on a 4/690.  Believe me, on less common hardware, Linux starts feeling
shaky and less solid -- and this is as of Redhat 7.0.

Hell, NetBSD 4.2 had some problems on the 4/690 that kept folks from
compiling certain programs.

It's that combination of VME and Sbus, I think, that confused most of
the kernels out there.  It's all a matter of how common your hardware
is, and how well worked-over the code is.
