Just to make sur eyou know the history, RedHat more-or-less underwrote the
initial sparc port, and had a fully supported sparc version through RZH
version 6.2. They discontinued it because "no one was using it" as measured
by the the sales of soarc boxed sets.
Never mind that typical users, if they bought the set at all (as opposed to
simply downloading it), bought it ONCE and installed it MANY times.
Of course, it's merely coincidence that this is approximately the same time
(not use of the word APPROXIMATE) that RH got serious about bidness and
prepared to or went public <SUITS SUITS SUITS>.
