Can RedHat be installed on a Sun Server

[pbxkid1]

I have a question that someone may be able to answer for me. Can Red Hat 9 or newer be installed on a SunBlade 1000 server? We would like to put our red hat dhcp server on the SunBlade box. I did not know if red hat would install on the sun hardware? Thanks

If that's an UltraSPARC based system, you'll need the UltraSPARC version of Linux, not the x86 version. I'm not sure if Red Hat has a SPARC version or not.

Redhat doesn't have a sparc version of RH and the UltraPenguin distribution is very outdated. If it's a sparc architecture, then I'd recommend just putting Solaris 10 and use it's dhcp server. If you dont' like solaris' version, then grab the source from isc.net and compile that version.

If the blade is Opteron based, then you can run just about any version of Linux you like.
