Charon is the brand name of a family of legacy system emulators from Stromasys. Charon software emulates legacy hardware such as SPARC, VAX, Alpha, PDP, or HP 3000. Each emulator creates a virtual legacy environment on a standard Windows- or Linux-based host system, with or without VMware ESXi hypervisor configurations.

Friday, December 20th, 2002: The Aurora SPARC Linux Project has released a couple of security advisories on and updates to crucial packages like glibc and apache. For details please refer to the security announcements sent to the Aurora Security mailing list. The (old) archives can be found here: Aurora-sparc-security mailing list archive. Linux and the Device Since Open Firmware is commonly used on PowerPC and SPARC platforms, the Linux support for those architectures has for a long time used the ./configure --build=x86_64-sun-solaris2.10 --host=x86_64-sun-solaris2.10 --target=sparc-sun-solaris2.10 You can then build additional compiler for each target you need to cross compile to. Compiling 32 bit and 64 bit executables on a platform which runs both is quite easy. Dec 06, 2007 · Cost comparison: Solaris/SPARC vs Linux/x86. Compare the cost of "Linux" -meaning gnu/linux on x86 - to the cost of Unix -meaning Solaris on ultraSPARC- and you get a surprise: "Unix" is cheaper Currently have a spare Sun SPARC Blade and wanted to make use of it as a HOST for Virtual Machines. Can Red Hat Enterprise Linux be installed on a Sun SPARC blade server? Environment. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5; Sun SPARC Blade

Oracle Linux 6 Update 7 (SPARC) is the first public release of Oracle Linux on the SPARC platform. The release is built from the same source packages as the corresponding Oracle Linux distribution for the x86

Linux on SPARC: 2 kernels. Actually Linux on SPARC architecture comes in two flavors: A 32 bits kernel for the Sun SPARC, Super SPARC, Micro SPARC and Hyper SPARC Processors. A 64 bits kernel for UltraSPARC based workstations. In both case most applications run in 32 bit ( 32 bit userland ). There is a comprehensive FAQ on UltraLinux's website. The sparc architecture hardware is generally used for Sun Solaris. Although it also supports other Unix variants such as NeXTSTEP, RTEMS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Linux (see here). In order to choose a Linux distro, check here. And you can also appear for this test, it will help you to choose a Linux distro suitable for you.
