For the Sparc, I'd recommend Aurora Linux. http://auroralinux.org I use 
it on an Ultra 5 and an E250. It's based on RH 7.3, kernel 2.4.18, and 
works very well.
I left the Caldera list about 8 months ago after a frustrating go-round 
with John Boland about their business methodology which he was firmly 
supportive of. I don't have any systems running anything of theirs 
anymore. I still believe it's one of the best examples (and will end up 
as such at Wharton) of a company going from first to worst in record 
setting time. I'm glad some of the good people there left before it 
became so embarrassing.
