I've run Debian on some of my sun4c machines in the past.  I also
ran it on an Ultra 5 at one point.  I liked it a lot.  Until I discovered
OpenBSD I used Debian 2.2 as a firewall on an IPC.  Did it on a 207meg
drive with 50meg of swap... and still had 50 meg free.  Yes, I spent
some quality time with the package manager =)
