Bsd on sun sparc ultra10
 
Hi LQ!
I have a sun sparc ultra10 and i have installed debian on it .
All my machines have debian on and i thought it was time to learn *bsd. I went to download a *bsd iso and i only found isos for sun sparc64 arch . Am i some sort of ... or there aren't anymore bsd isos for sparc . Is freebsd for sparc64 good for sparc anyway ???
Any advice for anyother bsd distro for sparc ultra10 ?
Thanks!

Solaris (nee "SunOS") was originally a BSD system.

But those days are long gone - later versions of Solaris focused exclusively on SVR4, and these days I think your best choices would probably either be Open Solaris or Linux.

IMHO .. PSM

A quick Google search turned up this link:

I run OpenBSD on a few sparcs and it's just fine. FreeBSD runs fine, however it is not actively updated.. No idea about NetBSD
