This does sort of bring up the question, however, about
SuSE's plans for SPARClinux. Shortly after releasing it, it
was stated on this mailing list that SuSE's plans for the
future of this product would "depend on feedback". I'm sort
of wondering -- what sort of feedback would be required
for SuSE/SPARC to move ahead? Certainly they can't base
it on sales. I think that, if someone is going to pick a
Linux distribution for their SPARC machines, they would
like to have a reasonable expectation that the product
will be maintained and extended.
