Hi,
After
probs with SUSE, I decided to try the stable release of debian (www.debian.org) and it has been a god
send...... as for support there is a very active mailing list and teh IRC
channel is very helpfull.
It can
be a little outdated and there are somethings it doesn't include but the
new version is rumourd to be released at the end of the month, which should
include allthe funky new stuff ;)

If you do not have any particular problem I think you could install Solaris 8 ,it's free (I think).
we have a sparc20 here too and it goes well with solaris 8.
I think suse could be installed as well but it will be a little slower on this computer.
I tried to install a Mandrake on it, one year ago, but it was very slow.
Bye
