I am going to be at the installfest, but I am not to much of a Debian
(or any other Linux) on sparc expert.  I have installed both Debian and
Redhat on Sun hardware, but its more of the antique variety.  My newest
hardware is a SS-10, which has pretty must always run OpenBSD.  

As far as Debian goodness goes, heres some tip pages that I use or point
people to regularly:

The Debian Reference: http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick/index.en.html
(especially the Debian Nirvana section:
http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick/ch-package.en.html#s-debian-package)

best of luck!
