I'm running Debian Sarge AMD64 on mine, and it works wonderfully. I'm
not a Solaris person, and I never plan on becoming one, but Sun's
Opteron hardware is quite nice. The remote management was one of the
features that sold me -- full control over power, etc. and
serial-over-LAN, through an SSH interface.
Sun don't support Debian officially (but we don't have a software
support contract anyway, so I'm not too fussed), but I'm pretty sure
they support at least SLES and RHEL.
Thanks
Leigh
