Aurora Linux works great on an Ultra5. We have been using it to run 
http://athens101.com for the last three years with no problems. I got 
our U5 to use a second desktop but even with a new video card and 256mb 
ram it was slower than the speed of smell. Yet after making it our 
web/SQL/Mail server it has managed 2,000,000 pages and not had a hickup.
