Just to make sur eyou know the history, RedHat more-or-less underwrote the 
initial sparc port, and had a fully supported sparc version through RZH 
version 6.2.  They discontinued it because "no one was using it" as measured 
by the the sales of soarc boxed sets.

Never mind that typical users, if they bought the set at all (as opposed to 
simply downloading it), bought it ONCE and installed it MANY times.


Of course, it's merely coincidence that this is approximately the same time 
(not use of the word APPROXIMATE) that RH got serious about bidness and 
prepared to or went public <SUITS SUITS SUITS>.
