I have SUSE 7.1 running on a Sun Ultra 5 with a 270 MHz CPU and
64 MB memory just fine. The only problem I had was I installed
a bigger IDE disk drive and did not understand that I had to
"label" this drive as a Solaris disk with fdisk first. In fact
I have mine setup to dual boot Solaris 8 and SUSE 7.1 linux.
