Unlike M$ linux comes with lots and lots of software.  And if your distro dosn't have a specific program you can surf the web and download it for free, if there isn't a program availible that does the specific task write one and we all can enjoy it  ;)

The fact that it's so darn easy to find and download stuff online is perhaps a problem for the *NIX world... after all, you need a decent *dsl connection if you want to get hold of anything.

Also, because cd's aren't all that cheap (okay, so they quite cheap, but hey, for us poor students every penny counts...), people don't feel all that inclined to drop off some program packages at some local Net-Caf

Huh?  Who doesn't at least *know* someone with a high speed connection and a CD burner?  Shit, give me your address and I'll send you a copy, free of charge you poor soul...

Anyone one know where I can find some good packages for Linux/Sparc. There are lots of distro's but view apps to go with it.

What sort of packages?  I assume you already have Solaris and Linux and are looking for more apps.  Of course you should be able to find all the Sun written apps at http://www.sun.com, many other vendors sell software that runs on Solaris.  What sort of apps are you needing for Linux?  The new StarOffice 6.0 is worth downloading also found at http://www.sun.com.  There are also lots of vendors who sell software that runs on Linux, that is if the free stuff doesn't suit you, and if it's free stuff you're looking for there are zillions of places to find this. http://www.google.com/.  Can you be more specific?
