Just FYI, Linux (the kernel) on Ultrasparc is 64-bit. See...
http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc/
Admittedly Linux/Sparc userspace is 32-bit, but lots of Solaris 8 userspace
is 32-bit too.
If you already knew this then I apologise in advance.

i'm a linux guy myself, but have administered sunboxes for a
few years. i
like the shortcuts and beauty of linux, but my thinking is
-- if you have
SUN hardware, run Solaris on it. i've tried running redhat,
slackware, and
netbsd on my ultra5, but still go back to Solaris in the
end. besides,
running a 64bit O/S on a RISC processor makes more sence
than running a
32bit one.
we have a few Nagios servers at work, most are linux boxes,
one is running
Solaris 8. you will run into a few problems compiling and
building things,
but it's a good learning experience :-)
we built some Nagios Solaris packages if you really get
stuck.
