MartUX – an OpenIndiana/Illumos based Solaris distribution for reviving SPARC hardware support.
MartUX_OpenIndiana is based upon OpenIndiana oi_151a, which was released for x86 hardware in 2011. The LiveDVD distribution release is focusing upon SPARC hardware support. This is the first SPARC release of an OpenIndiana / Illumos distribution.
MartUX is targeting sun4u and sun4v with 64-bit Sun UltraSPARC I, II, III, IV, T1, and T2 processors. There’s also support for Fujitsu SPARC64-V, SPARC64-VI, SPARC64-VII, and SPARC64-VII+ processors. It also provides hardware accelerated graphics drivers with openXSun for the Sun XVR graphics processors plus Elite3D, Creator, and other select models.
Previously, MartUX was based upon OpenSolaris and originally released only on sun4u architecture.
The founder and developer of MartUX is Martin Bochnig.
He develops OpenSXCE now, which is based on Solaris Express Community Edition.
