If it works under SPARC, I would be interested in some alternatives.
Right now, Martin is the first SPARC distribution out of the gate - would
love HTTP, TFTP, NFS, or WebNFS options.

I now have 3 V120's in the test lab:
- 4 Gig RAM (DVD)
- 2 Gig RAM (CD-ROM)
- 1 Gig RAM (CD-ROM)

Depending on how this goes, will start adding V100's.

Suggestions appreciated!

Thanks,
David Halko
