I get the feeling that the sparc version of suse is rather out of date. I have been running Mandrake on x86, but again, the sparc version of that is a few versions out.

I felt the Debian version was the most current (of the well known distributions), and I keep hearing how good apt-get is.

As I have two sparc5s, I might stick BSD on one.
