I keep (some of my) my electronic notes on it, use it for developing
handy ruby scripts and keep a simple webserver running on it. I'm using
git and periodically pushing to a NAS box. It's a DNS server for the
home network. It will eventually be a NIS server too (so I can set up an
environment like the one at work with "single sign on"). If I go ahead
and get a second one to use as a media treamer for the TV, I'll probably
use this one (256MiB) for the media and the new one (512MiB) as the
household workhorse.

Though my current
UNIX box only has 256Mb. :-) Realistically I'll probably see about
turning it into a PDP-11 or PDP-10 after I play with RISC OS for an
hour or two.
I've got as far as installing SIMH on mine. I've not yet grabbed a VMS
ISO so that I can actually boot a VAX (yet ...).
Too many projects, too little time ...
