Gentoo would work on it, though gentoo is not a "supported platform" byoracle, 
as for Oracle  it requires specific versions of binutils to be installed, so
you sometimes have to play games with fooling the installer.

Gentoo runs great on my ultra 30/ultra 60.  BTW the U30 is for sale, asking
$185.00 for it,  includes 384 megs of RAM, 4gb and 18gb SCSI disks, and an
Elite3D frambuffer. (the good one)
