And Linux, of course - I am running Linux on most of my sun4v's.

Oracles own distribution allows to run Linux as LDOM host, some of the 
vdc patches have been submitted to mainline, some not yet, and the 
userspace software not yet - althou they had plans for that.

The state of sparclinux support from Oracle remains to be seen - in 
recent year, quite a number of Oracle developers have contributed, but I 
do not know the current state - but hope fo the best.
