If you want to make it run faster, I would first try Solaris 10 or
Solaris Express; it has full support for all the odds and ends and
should run faster than Solaris 2.6.

If you still want to run Linux on that hardware, Gentoo has a SPARC
install image that should be recent (2.6 kernel)

However, it's not for the faint of heart. And unless you need all of
those SCA drive bays, get free power but don't have $1500 for a new box,
need a space heater or are building an antique computer exhibit, running a
450 is madness, given its massive power requirements and the relatively
slow CPUs and Memory. As mentioned before, a cheap modern dual-core CPU
with 4GB of even DDR1 will embarrass the 450, at like 1/5 the wattage.

(The 450 was pretty good for its time, but its time was what, 10 years
ago? It's been EOL since August 2002...)
