Is sparc still useful?

I found a busted SunBlade 2500 at the office.
Now that it's on my desk what should I install?
While I like Solaris 10 on my big servers it seems pointless on an old junker with 4GB ram.
So what are my options? NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Linux?
Turns out I have no options. I've tried all of the above and none of them work! Not even the amazing run anywhere NetBSD.
