    I was running RH6.2 on my sparc10 (128Mb - dual processor) running fine
    although there was alot more configuration to be done in comparison with x86
    SuSe to get Samba , apache and INN working, but the Xservers were working
    great, especially in GNOME. I only went to RH because i couldn't get SuSe to
    install from my ISO Images. But after many tries, i finally managed to get
    SuSe to install, but Apache needs the configuration work, I have'nt tried
    Samba yet, and the Xwindows don't work Yast2 logged errors when installing
    Xsun24.rpm and manually installing Xsun24.rpm does not work. It also logged
    errors installing other packages as well

    My next distro will be Mandrake, if this does not satisfy the i will
    reverting back to RH6.2 (which i don't want to do as i prefer SuSe)

    regards
    Patrick
