YellowDog Linux

[Darin Perusich]

running linux a RISC is great! i have a old Sun IPX that i'm running the 
lastest debian release and it smokes, as much as it can for a 40mhz 
sparc w/48mb ram and 400mb drive. i've run solaris7, OpenBSD3.0, 
Redhat6.2, and now Debian on this machine. i wanted to try a wide 
variety of OS's on this box to see which preformed the best, so far 
debian is tops with openbsd a close second. it may have taken 6+ hours 
to compile the lastest bind-9.2 release but this box is as rock solid as 
the any other system i've worked on.
