Hey hire, I got a sun blade work station and I’m going to replace the Solaris10 on it with Linux, any suggestion as to a good sparc based distro would be nice ;)

The only thing I can recommend at the moment is the Debian (4.0) Sparc 64 port. I've got an ISO image here for the network install CD if you'd like for me to make it available. It's only a couple of hundred megs. Before you try to install it, check the errata at www.debian.org and make sure your hardware is supported. There are some "gotchas" with Sun hardware.

It's been very stable here on two Sun Netra T1-105s and one E250. I haven't had it running long enough on the E220s to say whether it's good on them or not.

IF you're feeling adventurous, I can say that OpenBSD 4.2 for Sparc runs on the Netra T1-105s. I had to install it the other week to troubleshoot a network adapter problem. But BSD is an entirely different "animal". It DID function though! :-)
