I guess it doesn't runn on the SPARCClassic either? What's needed for the ss10? By this I mean something more than "a body to do the work" -- has an estimate of the necessary work been done yet? As the original poster pointed out, support for the machines that *don't* have a 4.1.3 that will run on them is the major selling point. For machines that *do* have 4.1.3, 4.1.3 is BSDish enough that there isn't a religious reason to switch.
