Not officially, but ... There is the unofficial 'Aurora'
project which is driven by a RH employee in his off hours,
which has RH 7.3 working on most sparc hardware -- The LvR
project lead and I were discussing getting a self-building
variant form going as well. Jeff Johnson, the lead RPM
maintainer, as well is a Sparc developer, and has Sun boxes
running and RPM working.

There is no difference in doco -- all RH doco in this area is
GPL'd -- you just have to throw the .ps or .pdf at a printer,
and have it bound at the local print emporium -- I think there
is the owner of one somewhere on this list. He would probably
quote a price for printing and finishing turn-key doco.
