I have an Ultra5 running Debian Sparc64 dist.. runs perfect. Probably my
favorite install i've got running but that might just be due to how much
time i've spent on it. It's cpu utilization is pretty damn impressive too.
I've got a dual 500 (maybe its dual 400, can't recall).
Anyways, I do most my perl coding on this box because like CPAN, apt-get
makes it easy for me to snag libraries etc,.
