It worked on my Sun Blade 1000 but not on the Sun Blade 2000. The latter
had problems booting from hard disk after the install and often would
reboot the machine with *MMU miss* errors. I was able to install Solaris 10
10/08 for sparc on my sb2000.

I own a Sun Blade 1000, Sun Blade 2000, Sun Ultra 30, and a Sun

term. I have been desperately waiting for a version of Opensolaris that
will run on these platforms. I use the Sun4u (Sun Blade 1000/2000) more
than the the ultra 30. I would definitely need a desktop environment as I
use these machines as workstations. My preference is for the sparc port to
behave exactly like the x86/x64 distro of opensolaris. I do not need the
live cd a regular install method like what is available with linux is fine.
But I do need the full complement of software, X server (preferrably
hardware accelerated), gcc, and gnu utils. I also want to be able to use
the Sun Studio Express compilers on this platform.
Today, you can use SXCE. An SXCE install can be made to "look like"
OpenSolaris, but the underlying structure is different -- especially
packaging. Go for it!
