This is answered pretty well in the Aurora mailing list archives, which 
are worth looking up.  Basically Linux/SPARC is a tiny niche with high 
support costs so don't hold your breath.  There is a very remote chance 
that Fedora Core 2 will run on SPARC but probably a more realistic 
chance of Fedora Core 3.

Of course you have Debian & OpenBSD that run very well on SPARC, Aurora 
Linux 1.0 (if you don't mind running Red Hat Linux 7.3), and some 
others that claim at least to install on SPARC.

There is some momentum building for cAos to run on SPARC, and already 
some people working on that.
