I have some SS5's, 10's and 20's that are happily running 2.0 that I 
would love to bring to 3.0 as well. I understand that there may be some 
downtime involved, from what I have read on other sparc32 linux lists, 
and am willing to accept that and help out in the coding/testing effort.

Thanks!
Steve
