Flashbacks to working on E6000s with a 1 hour boot time. I now realize I took for granted working on sparc hardware every time I see one of these posts. We had rooms full of old sunstations that we would randomly pick through to host an FTP or web server for a bespoke (Perl!) application. This stuff is better emulated these days, but if you have a chance to play with older hardware definitely do it
