I tend to run OpenBSD on my uselessly large pile of old sparcstations. It
is quite stable, (though i hear X may have a tad of trouble on it, i dont
use X on them) Havent used NetBSD or SparcLinux before, but i'd imagine
that NetBSD's install is similar to OpenBSD's, that is fast, simple, and
to the point.
