> Hey, Jeff, let's see if it will run Debian/SPARC.  

It should.  It's run SunOS 4.1.x, SunOS 5.4, NetBSD 1.4, and SunOS 3.2.
Some free Unix distributions account for kernel architecture differences
without having to have separate kernels.

heat the room and drown out the stereo and oh-by-the-way see if Debian
works?  Or vice-versa?

You need a RARP and TFTP server, and broadband internet (can use fast proxy).
I did this with the SS5/160.
