[SunRescue] Solaris 8

[BrianMcCloskeycheckinmystyle at hotmail.com]

thats kind of an arbitrary question and not easy to answer without defining 
some kind of metric.

also, what are you referring to as the "working free kernels"? if you mean 
linux, the ultraSPARC kernel is most definitely 64bit and was written by 
sun. i believe the bsd kernel for ultraSPARC is also 64bit. if you're 
talking about intel, its all 32bit obviously.
