I was able to install 5.1 on a Sun Netra T1 without much trouble, and
I'm pretty happy with the way it looks and performs.
My one problem I've not been able to solve is this - after rebuilding
the kernel, I cannot get it to come up on the network. I initially
pulled a lot of things out, but even with a default kernel now, it seems
to be flakey. The interface itself is present, but it shows "no
carrier" as the status. I can't seem to find anything else that's
wrong. Of course, I have a solid link light. :)
