NetBSD and OpenBSD are not as mature on the UltraSPARCs as Aurora Linux is. In particular, the last I looked at OpenBSD for sun4u SMP was not supported. Linux on sun4u supports excellent SMP. Many
That's true, but not the whole truth. OpenBSD has no SMP support at all, regardless of hardware architecture. That said, it runs great on Sparc and Sparc64.
other things make Aurora Linux an excellent choice, and one that will at some point be a Fedora-based one. And this IS Fedora-list, right? There are other SPARC Linux dists, like Debian and Gentoo, but this being Fedora-List we'll restrict ourselves to Aurora, since it is closest to the current Fedora of the bunch.
Why not take this discussion to an Aurora list? Fedora doesn't run on Sparc64.
