Solaris 8 should run fine.

Is the memory really limited to 512Mb? If that is true, how does the Ultra 10 (which I read uses the Ultra 5 motherboard) manage a maximum of 1Gb?
The U5 service manual is describing a four 256MB DIMM configuration leading to 1 GB so I guess it is possible.

Is it "safe" to connect to the Internet? I'm thinking "vulnerabilities" here. Bear in mind it is sitting behind a firewall. I would like to be able to SSH into it from outside.
The obvious risk is to run unpatched services/libraries. You would need to run current openssh/openssl software and make sure the system is quickly updated when vulnerabilities are discovered.

I notice it has no C compiler. What is the best approach for getting this installed, and how do I do it?
The simplest would be to find a gcc package for Solaris 8, this site looks to fit the need
Index of /tgcware/sunos5.8_sparc/stable , it also had openssh/openssl packages.

Finally, what's the best (fastest, most secure, easiest to use) Linux distribution for this and can it dual boot?
No idea.
