Hi, I've got a old sun blade 150 at work and would like to install ubuntu on it. Has someone attempted this before? :confused:

The Niagara-port might work. After all, SPARC is a SPARC :). If you can't get Ubuntu to work, Gentoo should work beautifully on that machine.

Once you startup the system and you get to the ok prompt type boot cdrom
