Nope, they didn't, because nobody purchased it.  Most of the Sun boxes
anybody would -want- to run Linux on (instead of Solaris) are -far- from
the latest and greatest...  They're mostly hobbyist machines, for people
who can and will download rather than buy the boxed set.  No money in
that for them, and it costs a lot to support another architecture.  I
can't blame them for not having a SPARC version, since Solaris is SOOOO
much nicer on the hardware where they could get people to buy Red Hat.
