I know about Aurora Linux, but it's kind of dead.

Not at all, quite the opposite.  While the mailing lists aren't
high-traffic, there are usually a couple of messages per day on the user
mailing list, and Spot is tirelessly building packages.  We're about to
get a build cluster set up here in Westford to help Spot out, and Peter
Jones is fixing up Anaconda to get some bootable media for Corona.  It's
still quite alive and even more active than it was 6 - 8 months ago.

My mirroring hasn't picked up anything new for months now... perhaps I'm
pulling the wrong stuff?

OK, I got a FC3 at home (AMD athlon), and at work we have 4 Ultra5, 1 Ultra10, 
and 1 Ultra1, all with Debian/SPARC, except the Ultra10 which has Solaris 7 
due to Informix.

Now, al thought I don't have the ability to use any of them, I can install 
what ever on my U5 workstation, but it shouldn't stop my programming (I can't 
have the WS down for a whole day).

Is there anything I can help with?

Well, really the biggest stumbling block is Anaconda.  spot's done some
great work on it, and I spent some of last week debugging some parts he
felt uneasy with.  There's a little left to do before it's really
feasible to release a test of it, but we do hope to be there fairly
soon.
