Red Hat has mars-nwe and ncpfs.  SUSe probably does, too.

Red Hat 4.2 exists for the SPARC.  5.1 will likely exist for it too,
but it isn't out yet.  No other "official" distribution runs on the SPARC.
You can get UltraPenguin for your SPARC, but it is unsupported at this time
(it is based on RH, though).

No.  I don't think SUSe does, either, but you might want to check
their web site.

>* I'll be having PC's and Macs access this machine.

I believe all popular dists have Samba and Netatalk.  If not, both
are easy to install.
