It looks as though those machines should run Linux. Sun's official party
line on linux is usually Redhat and SuSE, but as far as I've been able
to tell, they're not usually doing anything so funky that other distros
won't work. So unless there's a particular reason to run Solaris it
seems like you should be able to drop Linux on these and be on your way.
