*Systems with the SPARC to them

**First: know thy system

The question is yours, which sun-microsystem-axel-sparc-clone do you have?

Don't know? The best hint is on the front, if it says ultra on it then... yes it will be an ultrasparc!
If that case is true, then your dealing with a 64bit processor, and will need to search for a sutiable, useable, and hopefuly community based operating system, or start your own. I recommand, gnu/Linux debian,

*prereqs
** yes computers have those..
You should know the basics before starting a install on anything other then an i386, and even then when you install linux on a PC you do know how to use a monitor? it's as simple as that, using what is in front of you, keyboard, mouse, monitor, (maybe a little less of the mouse).

**other stuff to know
