[Gllug] Debian on SPARC 64bit

[Paul Brazier]

I've got the possibility of looking after a SPARC 64-bit server and
ideally I'd like to have Debian on it for ease of maintenance. I've had
a look at the Debian SPARC-64 pages and it seems that it is kind of
working but maybe not too stable/complete.

Has anyone had experience of running this? - I've only ever used x86
processor machines. 
I guess the main problems will arise if you're compiling your own
software on it plus maybe a restricted selection of deb packages.

Might I be better off with Solaris even though I'd rather avoid it
(being non-free and never having used it before)?
