- Minimum config for Sparc10 Model * is 4.1.3. There are kernel differences
- between 4.1.1 and 4.1.3, but they should only effect a handfull of programs.
- I've seen no problems with a viking machine (sparc 10) running sparc2
- executables, however, there are a few viking specific problems resident
- in the hardware I've used. Those will probably be cleared up by the time
- you get your machine.
- Basically, it should be no problem.
