Wow!  I couldn't imagine using such a slow machine as your primary 
workstation although the "coolness" factor is definitely there :-)  I 
have NetBSD/sparc running on my Sun 4/110 which is rumored to be just 
slightly faster than a 3/60, but it's not my primary machine.  It does 
seem to run quite well though...
