Linux on Sun Hardware?
Quick question here...
Is it possible, and not only possible, but easy to install and run Linux on Sun Microsystems hardware? |

I'd say it depends more on what Sun hardware you are using? A number of the commonly heard distros are ported to various Sun hardware - you need to see what h/w you are running and then look for a ported distro. Sun has SPARC and x86 machines.
Slightly offtrack, but why would you want Linux over Solaris? |

There are Linux distros made for Sun hardware, but it does matter on the hardware how easy it is to install.
