Yeah I run Debian-Sparc on a Sparc Classic.  It's a little slow (my simple
FP math test which involved calculating the value of pi to a large number
of digits) show it's roughly the same speed as a 486DX50 (for that sort of
math anyway)
Makes a real nice Xterm though, especially with the 21" Sony monitor it
came with.  It's currently $DISPLAY'ing kde running on my K6-200.
