I have an Axil 255 and am tired of running a stagnant OS for
which I have no source.

In looking through the web page, I noted that the Classic
(microsparc-I based) was supported by the current release.
Is the microsparc-II (SS5, Axil 255, et al) also supported?

I presume for X you just go get X11R6 and compile it? What
about the GX? If I remember correctly, Sun supplied binary
only support to X11 for the GX (a cg3.o file). Does that file
work or has some other accomodation been made?

Just out of curiosity, on the SS10 and SS20 (which were also
mentioned), what CPUs are supported (the web page didn't say)?
Is MP supported (I doubt it, but hope springs eternal)?
