Fedora Sparc in Production

Greetings, I'm new to Fedora and new to Fedora on Sparc, though well versed with various other distros of Linux incl. RHEL/CentOS, Debian, SUSE etc. but have been "blessed" with a bunch of SunFire Sparc servers, on which I want to try running Linux, after Oracle's decision to kill the OpenSolaris project and make Solaris too expensive for mere mortals to afford/support. I wanted to know if there is anyone running Fedora and very specifically Fedora on Sparc in production and how stable is it to run it. I have been running Debian on Sparc for a little while and although it was quite easy to install and manage, there's a bunch of software that I have really struggled to compile, build and run on it incl. several drivers etc. the binaries for which are only available in rpm form and I've been unsuccessful in using tools like alien to install them on Debian. Any suggestions, advice and insights will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance \A
