I've used most of the SPARC stations during the late 90s. 4, 5 and 20. They were a lot better than the Pentiums in use. Moved up to the UltraSPARCs, my last one was a Blade 2000. Linux was a champ on those architectures. But I don't miss the blasted bus errors not one bit. AMD is where it's at nowadays, ARM will be next within the next few years.
