[Aurora-sparc-user] What does your Sparc do?

  This mailing list is no stranger to questions like this; I know I've 
asked similar before. :-)

  I don't have much SPARC hardware running these days, myself.  The main 
one is my Ultra 10, Beer (beer.tclug.org), which is my main shell box. 
It has about seven regular users.  It's been running Aurora since sometime 
around 1.0, and ran RedHat 6.2 before that.  It's had some pretty good 
uptimes, typically up to around a year at a time (numerous times).

  09:49:14 up 271 days, 13 min, 29 users,  load average: 0.16, 0.31, 0.32

  Other than that, there's TMI, my SparcStation 4, which is probably one of 
the most bleeding-edge sparc32 Linux systems around.  It does a lot of 
first-round testing for Aurora's kernels.  (Spot has remote console 
access.)
  Up until recently, I had an SB100 doing my mail/DNS, but that's since 
been moved to a B&W G3 running Fedora.  (What can I say, I'm a fan of PPC, 
too.)  I also have an Ultra 5 that does fairly regular installation 
testing for Corona spins.
  I've got a few others, but they haven't gotten powered on much lately 
aside from occasional test installs.  I'd run them more, but I've been 
advised to reduce my power consumption, so any unnecessary systems are 
offline.

  Looking forward to reading everyone else's responses. :-)
