There are currently some alternative SPARC operating systems, and some others are (sort of) in the works. Right now, you can get the Berkeley Sprite operating system, which looks mostly like Unix (and offers many new features) and which runs on Sun-4s, Sun-3s, and DECstation 3100s. Other operating systems (including a known favorite) may be coming down the road sooner or later; watch this space for more information (and for requests for help!).
