It's just my opinion, but, on sparc, these two distributions sucks.
redhat 6.2 is unmaintened and Aurora is not finished. It will be very
hard to find all the new binaries in sparc rpm and so on.

If you want to really test linux on this machine, try debian. It's the
lighter linux based OS you will find on sparc and you would never have
problem to find up to date packages. Of course, Redhat installation is
easier, but i've tested them all and i was shocked how the redhat/aurora
was poking compared to debian.
