Thanks, Alan.

Good question though.

Hopefully, we can end this specific thread and open new topics under proper subject headers to follow.

Oracle Linux does not run on any SPARC systems, only x86/x64.   I've
not kept track of if the SPARC support in the upstream kernel has T5
support yet, but few Linux distros actually build SPARC versions.

Neither Solaris 11.0 nor Solaris 10u1-u10 work directly on the T5
hardware - you need Solaris 11.1 or Solaris 10 1/13 (u11) to run
on the hardware, though you can run slightly older versions in a
guest domain.

I have no idea if enough technical info was or will be released to
allow porting OpenSolaris-derived distros such as OpenSXCE to T5/M5.
