I'm running NetBSD 3.1 on a SS20.  I have apache, cacti, mysql
apcupsd, bind, snmpd, xtide, RAIDFrame and a few other things
configured and running there.

Mine is :

cpu0 at mainbus0: mid 8: TMS390Z50 v0 or TMS390Z55 @ 75 MHz, on-chip FPU
cpu0: physical 20K instruction (64 b/l), 16K data (32 b/l), 1024K
external (32 b/l): cache enabled
cpu1 at mainbus0: mid 10: TMS390Z50 v0 or TMS390Z55 @ 75 MHz, on-chip FPU
cpu1: physical 20K instruction (64 b/l), 16K data (32 b/l), 1024K
external (32 b/l): cache enabled

It seems stable enough to me, although I have been running it for only
a month or so.  I don't know if we really see any potential problems
unless the machine is used intensely, and in my case the traffic
is relatively light (and that is why it is in this role!).
