Has anyone noticed that it lacks PCMCIA slots? Sure its cool and I'd like one but I sure find it easier to move my digital photos off my compact flash cards with a PCMCIA adapter. Memory sticks don't work in a Nikon CoolPix 5000.
I actually work with Denis, Ken, and Brian and they're still cranking out some really cool stuff. None of it is mainstream due to Lucent's (Bell Labs) marketing of it and the huge installed base of current poop (MS Win) and software (*NIX)..
True that GOTOs are still running amuck in their code sometimes. Some of their newer stuff, papers, and such should be public like the theories behind OSs like Plan9 and Inferno, two OSs based completely on a file stucture for everything.

The Sparc 5s have wierd memory architecure that wasn't very well supported. This I read from RedHat's site with there 6.2 release and the 2.2 kernel.
I have had much success running it on Sparc 1, 10, 20, Ultra 1, 2, 10.

If you check out http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/ you can find them and some off their recent work. Check it out.
