Hi is Fedora for spark system as good as it is for x86. which linux distro/other os is easy to install on spark system and friendly to use. if someone works on them please contact me, having problems running spark system. thanks sps
Solaris 10 would be the best OS for a sparc system. You can also run Solaris 10 ono x86 systems. Available at no cost now as well.
or if your disk isn't big enough for Solaris, try Debian. If it's really old (I have a luncbox here, and you didn't say "ultra" or "54") and I installed RHL 6.2 on that.
A number of years ago I loaded RH 4.2 on an old Sun box, I think it was an LX? Not sure if that is the correct designation or not. Ran it for a couple of years. Still have the CDs for it. But that Sun box is long gone.
Solaris 10 has some really nice features. Have been considering setting up a box or two with that sometime in the near future.
