Yes, this one uses unsuported hardware so you have
some problem.
I went to the SETI fair in Paris last week and
the people from Sun's booth were very helpful.
They let me play with theses babies ( as well as with
their bigger sisters the SunBlade 1000 ), and
told me that some people at Sun's were working unofficially to help porting Linux on theses computers.
The fact is that in a lot of countries, such as France,
the Ultra 5 is not affordable and most of the computers
that are on sold at eBay are only for the US/Canadian
market, thus some Linux Friendly people at Sun Microsystems are aware
that the SunBlade 100 is going to be a big hit and
that it __HAS__ to run Linux.
As a conclusion, Linux should run on the SunBlade 100
and its derivative ( both Workstation and Netra ) in a
very near future.
