RedHat 6.1 is your best bet. You will find that 6.2 beta, piglet, is out. I
have installed it and it has a few problems. I would stay with 6.1 for a little
while longer. Don't forget to download powertools 6.1 for sparc also. If you
are use to the kde support in SuSE, you will be disappointed with RedHat. If you
are disappointed with the gnome support in SuSE, you will be pleased with
RedHat.  

I have tried Dedian 2.1R4, 2.1R2, Caldera 2.2 ( it is half cooked, can't tell
if it is .2 or .3) and Spiro 64.

Mandrake has announced that it will support sparc. I have not seen a download
of the sparc distribution yet.  

With a sparc 5 you also have the options of the BSDs. I look at them time to
time, but am looking for ultra support. I can not tell you what the status of
those projects but older hardware support is there.

This post is not really off topic as, I think, there are a few who would like
to see SuSE sparc support.

Thank you
Russell
