Yep.

Running Solaris 8, the machine is my main nfs & atalk fileserver, runs an
Amanda server for backup, runs C News... can't do much more hammering. No
drive-related quirks in more than a year. Bonnie maxes out the drives at 9+
MB/sec.

Back then, I slapped NetBSD onto the machine more out of curiosity. I
wanted it to route over ISDN, so Solaris was the only option. The kernel
performs great, and thanks to Zoularis, userland is bearable.  ;)
