Very nice, 

I have one question.  If you do not plan to use the E3000  would it be 
possible to get the center plane from it.  Im after one for my E3000.  I 
currently have 4x 336 mhz CPU and 1 gb ram  I would love to use it for build 
system for extras.  If there was a CentOS release for sparc  i would have no 
hesitation in building extras for it also.

ClamAV is one of the extras packages that would be available to you.  

Technically a SPARC based port of CentOS would greatly be enhanced  by an 
official port of Fedora Core even if there was only a sparc release every 
other x86 release.
