I collect Sun lunchbox systems and also have an Axil SS20 clone.  I start up the lunchbox systems once a year to make sure they haven't died and regularly run the Axil. One of the lunchbox systems is running some Linux distro that I don't recall (it could be something old on a sun4c).

Number one problem keeping them running long term is the NVRAM battery (I have added external batteries to the chips in almost all of them). Replacement SCSI HDDs are now a problem to source locally; I couldn't get any from the computer recycler last year. I can still get them on eBay.
