Hello,

Can I cheat a little and ask a question before doing any more research?
Is there a Linux platform that works on "Sun Servers" ?

Thanks,
Charles

Charles,

The answer is yes. I haven't done it, but I'm sure that someone here has.
Probably Konrad.

I just checked, and SuSE (http://suse.com) has a distro for it. I don't know
how familiar you are with Linux, but if you are doing server work, SuSE is a
great distro for it. If you use SuSE, YaST (SuSE's installer) is your friend.

In addition, NetBSD (http://www.netbsd.org/) runs on sparc gear, as well.

Oh, and "cheat" away --- but you aren't really cheating. Some of the best
help for Linux can be gotten off mailing lists, usenet, and irc. We are glad
to help, in any way we can.

Linux can run on the high-end servers and as well on the workstaions.

I'm an administrator of Linux/sparc server (http://xp.medinfo.m.ehime-u.ac.jp/)
and Vine Linux is running on this server. Vine Linux is based on Red Hat
Linux and customized for Japanese.

See http://www.ultralinux.org/dists.html for more distro information.

Also I run NetBSD/sparc on old IPX box. I believe it's good OS as same
as Linux/sparc. But if you aren't familier with Unix, I don't recommend
it because installation process is a bit difficult.

We'll answer only if you give tell us whether the current scheme
of DHCP addresses being, for all intents and purposes, static
and tied to the cable modems will change when you migrate from
Excite@Home...

(More than 1 NOLUGger runs SPARC Linux. Debian or SuSE, I
presume.)

I wonder if cox is gonna turn port 80 back on, or I'm just going to have
to keep running my webswerver on another port.

They started blocking again. I could swear mine was unblocked for a little while.

yes. Linux/sparc runs on most sun server equipment. I'm not sure you
want or need to do that though. Solaris is essentially free on their
own platform nowadays. On higher-end sun equipment, I'd stick with
Solaris. On lower end stuff, Linux may be a good choice if there's
some licensing cost issue. Linux should be fine for DHCP/DNS and
those sorts of functions.

Yep. What kinda box? Debian, SuSE, and RedHat have distros that work
on sparc-en.

Also, NetBSD and OpenBSD (which runs my webswerver) works well on
sparc-en
