OpenSSh 2.5.2p2 on Linux/Sparc

[Lewandowsky, Matt]

OK. Cool. I have Debian on my box now, but it *really* doesn't like it for
some reason... It randomly doesn't boot, it randomly stops responding to the
keyboard, it randomly has network problems, and it has NEVER seen my mouse.
It's a standard Type 5 mouse, so... But without it, I have no X. :/

So, I'll aim for Slackware packages and RPMs. Are there any compile-time
pitfalls between Slackware 7.2 and RedHat I should know? (Like do they both
need MD5 passwords?)
