Actually, the Turbosparc (I think we discussed this here earlier) is a 
sort of bastard son of the Sparc family. It refuses to work with any 
Linux distribution except Ultrapenguin so I'm giving that a go right 
now.

I'd love an Octane but it would probably just sit on my desk beside my 
15" TFT iMac and look cool and not fit into my rack in the basement.  I 
got this SS5 for free complete with a 19" display, keyboard and mouse 
in mint condition so I'd thought I'd make use of it somehow.

More info about the Sparcstation 5 family can be found here :
