Q: Sun v60x: Anyone installed Linux on one?

Im curious about sun's claims of hardware compatibility with
Linux on the Sun v60x (Intel Xenon) - has anyone installed
Red Hat - or better, Debian Linux on these boxes? Is there
somewhere that lists what the actual hardware devices internal
to these mysterious blue boxes actualy is? For instance, whose
ethernet chipset are they using? Does SUN OEM another manufacturer's
motherboard, etc?


Thanks in advance,

-Matt

Sun now has Red Hat packages with device drivers for the V6xx series
as free dowloads.

Sure, look at Suns Whitepaper, the reviewers guide and other available info.
All info you need in great detail.
