If you do not have any particular problem I think you could install Solaris 8 ,it's free (I think).
we have a sparc20 here too and it goes well with solaris 8.
I think suse could be installed as well but it will be a little slower on this computer.
I tried to install a Mandrake on it, one year ago, but it was very slow.
