1) I want to learn. I think kernel coding is good to learn new things.
2) I don't like PC architectures. Personally, I think many persons
don't understand if you want good performance from a system is not
sufficient to upgrade the CPU, you have to change everything.
So, a new architecture is interesting for me.
3) I want to learn _new_ things. I have experience only on PCs. Few
experience on SGI and SUN and I want to change this situation 8)
4) I can buy a Sparc MB, but this means I can buy _only_ it. I have not
enough money for the memory, disks, etc...
5) Why not?
Ciao Ciao
