Ah... a fellow SunPCi card owner... damn sexy pieces of hardware. You 
may be interested in 
http://www.vdberg.org/~richard/Linux-on-SunPCi-mini-Howto/ if you are 
finding windows a bit too dull. I've only just tried it and as a linux 
newbie I've had limited success however I plan to further this if/when I 
get some time. I'm particularly interested in getting RedHat installed 
but I can't find any (understandable) doco on installing RH on a 
diskless (floppyless and CDless) box.

There is some discussion as to why you would want to run linux on a PCi 
card.... I reckon so you can run windows in an emulator of course ;)
