<EM>The SPARC family of microprocessors is a very good implementation of the RISC design and SPARC based computing devices cover a very wide
|
|
spectrum of applications, from mainframe class computers to radhard
|
|
microprocessors used by the aerospace industry in its space segment.
|
|
SPARC based computers are usually very well engineered products,
|
|
thus Linux on SPARC is a winning combination both in performance and ease of use. Actually this combination is not as widspread as the Linux/x86; this HOWTO
|
|
should help you step by step to make an informed decision: try it you will not
|
|
regret it.</EM>
