My basic wishlist is to have an Ultra 5 or 10 replace the Athlon Thunderbird
that I'm sitting in front of. I need fvwm with 16 desktops and around 30+
xterm windows, mozilla, and openoffice. I would expect that it would be a
lot more reliable than commodity junk.

I have 18 systems up and running, Four of them are Intel/Amd, and they seem
to require the most frequent maintenance. Sun 4c and 4m seem to go forever,
The few Ultra boxes that I have are also fairly reliable.
