OpenBSD -- http://www.openbsd.org/sparc64.html

Not sure if the NetBSD Sparc64 port runs on a Netra or not.

I don't track NetBSD much.  FreeBSD is my usual flavor, and I do
keep an eye on OpenBSD.  I know from experience that both FreeBSD
and OpenBSD are nice, stable OSen.

BSDi = commercial BSD, not commercial Linux.

Agreed that they're tools... just that some are better than
others. :-)
