I've run 10 at home briefly, but for the most part at work we stopped

Certainly a good point. I'd not draw that line
at the Ultra60,
though, because (as you know) they can be reasonably zippy if
well-provisioned. Ultra30s, Ultra1s, the previous 32-bit SPARCs,
definitely. (NetBSD hauls ass on those!)
I've never actually touched an Ultra 30, in fact I don't think I've
ever seen one. I'd love a nice Ultra 1E/200 for OpenBSD, I imagine
it would rock on it. It's pretty nice on a Sparc 5/70. The nice
thing about OpenBSD is it's pretty light on RAM usage. I like
running on S-Bus systems as I have a bunch of 4-port 100Mbit cards.
Plus they squeeze into a small space.
For the past
few years I've typically run
Solaris 8 at home, though I have Solaris 10 on the SunBlade 1000.
Myself, at this point I can't imagine running a network without
Zones and ZFS. They've both pretty dramatically changed the way I
build networks. Solaris 10 all the way, for me!
