IMO, the Debian install is a lot simpler. As I said Debian supports what the kernel supports, which is any sun4c, sun4m, and sun4d (we also support sun4u, ultrasparc, with the proper kernel). SPARC Classic is a sun4c, the same cpu type of the SPARC Station 1 that I have been running Debian on succesfully (including the latest unstable version of Debian, potato). Hope this helps, Ben
