This appendix describes the differences between Red Hat Linux/SPARC and Red Hat Linux/Intel installations. While it provides a good overview of these differences, you will find it easier to read chapters 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in order. These chapters will refer you to the appropriate parts of this appendix at the appropriate time.
In addition, there is a Linux/SPARC homepage at
http://www.ultralinux.org. It has a wealth of information
for people considering Red Hat Linux/SPARC, and is a great resource.
