ahhhh, I just finished installing the newest (Nov 1

OpenBSD on
my MicroVAX 3100 (17 years old)
It really gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that they're still useable.
I rather like that myself.
From 1994 (or so) through 1997, I ran two DECstation-3100s in
production roles on my home network; one as a name server and one as
a mail server handling several medium-volume lists. Around the same
time I used a pair of VAXstation-3100/38 machines in production doing
the same things at an ISP in NJ. All four machines were running
NetBSD. They barely broke a sweat under the load, and had a 100%
reliability record for the nearly three years that they were running.
That's damn good stuff!
