Edward,

You are so lucky ! Wish I could get my hands on one of those Sun
machines. 

You will need Aurora Linux, which is roughly equivalent to FC3 now, I
think. See this: http://auroralinux.org/

Installation can be a little tricky. I tried it out on a Netra T1 a year
ago, and the networking part almost made me give up. This was caused by
the 4-port ethernet card inside. You may want to check if your E250/E450
uses the quad card. If it does, here's a hint, the port assignments may
be messed up, so, before you try troubleshooting, try plugging the cable
into one socket after another. Another thing: you may need to set the
MAC address manually. 

Otherwise, I have to say that the performance of Linux on Sparc just
blew me away! IIRC the Netra had 256MB of RAM, and a 300MHz processor
(or something like that) and it ran faster than my Fujitsu 1.8GHz 512MB
desktop running FC3 back then. And this was a Netra that dated back to
1999, at least !
