“Gentoo Linux 2006.1 for SPARC is one of only two Linux distributions that
have been certified[1] by Sun to run on their Sun Fire Servers with
CoolThreads. These servers utilize the new UltraSPARC T1 processor. Sun
has worked with the Gentoo/SPARC team[2] to ensure support of their latest
servers in Gentoo Linux. Many thanks to Sun for also donating a Sun Fire
T2000 server for the Foundation to use to further development on
Gentoo/SPARC.”
