It's worked fine with FreeBSD since 6.0-RELEASE IIRC. You should have no problems with the base and the more common sparc64 ports. Mine was previously running as a general purpose web box with Apache, BIND, MySQL, etc. All built without a single problem. If you have any problems, post here. I'm open to ridding it of Debian and reinstalling with FreeBSD if you need some assistance. :-) --Tim
