[Sussex] Sun Linux is no more..

So,

Sun have decided to drop their LINUX distro in favour of shipping 
hardware with Red Hat (and possibly other distros) pre-installed.

Frankly, this makes sense  - most of Suns modifications are turning up 
in the Red Hat betas anyway - why bother to maintain an old version of 
Red Hat full of tweaks?

Sun are banking on Linux for the mass market to stop them turning into 
SGI (nothing wrong with being SGI - but the shareholders want Sun size 
profits not SGI size profits).
