As a newbie myself to sparc and Debian, I have installed the latest release on an Ultra30 500Mb ram w 248MHz processor. On a very non-scientific scale i.e. using basic office type apps and with Apache running - the machine seems quite snappy - certainly faster than my 566Mhz AMD K6 (w 512Mb RAM) running Mandrake 9.2. My only other comparison is a 700Mhz Dell GX110 running Suse 9.1 - seems comparable to this.
Not scientific - just my impression
