That's Mitch Bradley's Open Firmware Forth, which was also on Suns, post-NuBus PowerPC Macs, Pegasos, and IBM Power Systems!

I used to call it "L1-A Forth", because that's the Forth you got when you pressed "L1-A" on a Sun keyboard to get into the boot monitor. He also made a great version of that Forth system with a metacompiler that ran under Unix (Forthmacs), which I used a lot.

I wanted one for the Forth environment too!

The Fedora-based distro is definitely a pain. Sugar has some neat ideas, it it's way too slow.

I've enjoyed using mine with Debian and a tiling WM. Much snappier.
