Ubuntu On SPARC

[Thom Holwerda]

Do you want me to announce this on http://www.expert-zone.com? I'll try 
to link it through to osnews to gain some extra attention.

Great work Fabio!

However, some notes: yesterday I asked if the sparc release would ever 
become a "full" release (with .iso's, like the pps and x86 releases). 
You mentioned some hurdles-- what hurdles were those?
