OpenBSD also works.
About old versions, Debian 4 was the last version for Sparc32, it will
work. Gentoo 1.4 and 2004.1 had Sparc32 versions and those also boot.
Some Solaris versions should boot but crash (this is related to
OpenBIOS).

Gentoo 2008.0 CD boots to installer, I don't know if it crashes later.

The old web site had a status page, but we lost that when switching to Wiki.
