NetBSD! NetBSD Baby!  ;-)

There's also a Debian port out there as well.

Wait!  You're talking about RaQ 4 right?  That's an x86 box so almost
anything will work as long as you can either manually install the software
or do a net-boot install.

For all my Qube, Qube2/RaQ2 (MIPS) boxes though I'm using NetBSD Cobalt.
