Only under Solaris. With Linux or BSD on it it ran pretty well. I
had a Sparc 20 running RH 7.2 back in the day (or whatever the last
version of RH that ran on sparc was) that spanked an Ultra-2 running
slowalrus with twice the memory and hard drives handily.
Solaris has gotten much better since then, I'm sure.
