Distributions

There are currently seven distributions that support SPARC hardware. Most the distributions support:

  • Commercially available CD sets
  • Freely available via the net.
  • booting from the floppy, CD-ROM, and network
  • Mailing lists for questions specific to the distribution

This is, by far the easiest way to install UltraLinux on your computer.
