Of course it is. It's just that if you want support for the box
with an OS running on it _from SUN_ then you need to run a version
which Sun says is supported. If you are prepared to provide support
on a v20z/v40z for your customer when they run RedHat fedora X.Y
then more power to you -- that's great.

There's an awful lot of kit which runs linux without a vendor's
imprimatur.
