JDK GNU/Linux SPARC and MIPS

[Paul Hohensee - Java SE]

So I have another question.  What are the available linux OS ports on sparc
that you can run a linux-sparc jvm on?

I know a version of ubuntu is available for sparc, including niagara 
platforms.
Anything else, maybe just works in progress?  Maybe a big distro like 
Redhat?
