Net and FreeBSD probably also support it. Depending on what you want to do with your system I would recommend OpenBSD or FreeBSD. FreeBSD will have more current apps (your complaint below) and is a better desktop if you define a good desktop by more apps and more current apps. I don't need the latest of anything so OpenBSD works fine for me. However on SPARC I really like Solaris for a server or desktop. OpenBSD would be better for an applicance like a router, firewall etc. if you have an extra SPARC box. Then again Solaris 10 will go away but OpenBSD hopefully is here to stay. > I wanted to use a linux but the only current linux for sparc64 is debian > 6.03 Gentoo/Funtoo also run on SPARC64. > Openbsd seems to have better drivers since it works fine.

The latest Firefox builds are available and so are very recent copies of almost every app. I build everything else from source though. If you're going to run an old box you will either need to accept living with an old OS and old apps or learn to build whatever you want from source. In some cases the latter isn't possible though.
