Sparc linux distros

[Derek Atkins]

I'm running Debian on my SS5.  IIRC I had to install potato and then
upgrade to woody, but this was a long time ago.  At the time, the
woody installer did not support sparc (or, rather, the installer
didn't work on sparc).  But my machine is happily running Debian
at this moment.
