Er...  I have an E150 in my basement.  One of the two power supplies 
died couple of months ago, so it is collecting dust right now.  I was 
playing with Aurora (rebuild of Fedora Core for sparc64), Debian and 
OpenBSD while it was still in usable condition.  If it was still 
working, I'd give CentOS a try as soon as it was released ;-)
