I tried and tried. I fdisk'd. I setenv'd boot-device. I tried to study and learn. GENTOO just would not stick.

I found in my CD pile a five disk set of AURORA 2.4.20-2.3sparc64 dated Jan 15, 2003. It installed. It does KDE. I can see all my old "lost" files. Hurray!!

Anybody have a DEC PDP10 for us senior citizens to play with?

'fraid even the computer history museum is still looking for parts to get one that can boot.

You can run v7 Unix in a special pdp11 VM for old time sake, though. It even has a working version of Ken's chess.

If anyone knows PDP assembly, I'd love to see that program ported into the 21st century.
