I've got an old UltraSPARC 2 I recently scrounged when my group was
cleaning out an old storage room.  I've got a gaggle of SCSI drives in a
12 bay external cabinet, so I'm running it as my main NFS server for
both my home directories and a big local shared folder. I've just moved
over to it from an aging dual PII/300 (rivendell) which I've used as the
Center of All Knowledge on my network -- running NFS, NIS, DNS, DHCP,
Samba, and my Postgresql database.  I've pretty much ported over
everything from the PII to the UltraSPARC, though I'm still having some
problems with stability on the 2.99 release, so I'm a little hesitant to
really depend on it as my main server yet.

I'll be really happy when there is a running 1.5 JDK on this box.  I'd
REALLY like to move my Apache/Tomcat stack over there, but I'm going to
have to stick to another Lintell box for the time being.
