The author of this iTWire article feels that Linux on SPARC may not be successful, we disagree but an interesting read nonetheless:
Sun job cuts and Linux on Sparc will fail says analyst - http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/4491/53/
Article Quote:
"Now people just don't care because what they really want to buy is commodity servers. Commodity means low cost and high volume and for that people have traditionally bought Intel. In short, three years down the track Linux on Sparc, like Suse Linux on mainframes, will be considered just another interesting Linux diversion."

"The problem with Linux is that there are too many distributions available," said Joe Wilcox, an analyst at Jupiter Research. "What Ubuntu is trying to do is take the complexity out of Linux, which has been holding back more widespread acceptance."
