I've been using an UltraSparc running Mandrake as a desktop at work for 3 1/2 years now and am considering trying to buy it off the boss when I leave. The 64bit causes a few problems every once in a while when I wanted to try a compile on my local machine, but on the whole its been extremely usable.
