I run Debian on my SPARC's. When I looked it was the most up to date 
SPARC distribution. That was my first experience with Debian and now I 
run it almost everywhere. I will never use another .rpm based 
distribution. On my PeeCee, I run Gentoo because it is nice and fast and 
all the purdy bits are much easier to get than with Debian. They don't 
have a SPARC port, but they are working on a SPARC64 port.

If it's a single processor (which your's aren't) and it's connected 
directly to the internet I run OpenBSD.

Those machines must run hot.
