Hi,
Has anyone successfully installed Centos4 on the newer AMD powered Sun gear? I really want to hear if there are gotchas or lost/decreased functionality. a

Rick,
Sun donated 3 machines to the CentOS Project that are V20z's
See this story: http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=128
These machines have working flawlessly with CentOS-4.3 (and 3.7) installed.
Both the i386 and x86_64 arches have been installed ... as has VMWare Server Beta with VM's for both i386 and x86_64.
I did build and install the latest platform drivers from Sun (nps- V2.4.0.2-0.i386.rpm) ... and I did build and install the broadcom drivers (bcm5700-smp-7.3.5_2.6.9_34.EL-rhel4_2.i686.rpm) provided by Sun as well. (that was i386 arch ... you can build the x86_64 versions too).
I have been super pleased with these machines.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes CentOS-4 Lead Developer
