The wording on the actual distro download link suggests it supports the T1 family only, but certainly that must be an incorrect understanding? What is the actual range of supported SPARC processors? I'm looking at probably using it on a couple older machines with UltraSPARC IIi's and just wanted to make sure that it will be doable on these boxes.
what is the available SPARC family supported?

I found that wording in the download link confusing as well, but went ahead on an install. Nothing to lose for me. It runs ok on a Sunblade 100 - UltraSPARC-IIe, 64-bit.
(Ok for me means it booted, networked ok, and I got a terminal window - haven't done a lot else with it at this point )
IIi (e.g. Ultra 5, 10) works fine. See the other threads. There are some people who report problems but in general, it works fine.
