If you're happy with monochrome graphics then a SPARCstation 1 or 1+ is
ideal.  I run one diskless under NetBSD, with 16MB of RAM for many
years, and recently upgraded to 40MB.

Unfortunately the Xsun Xserver in NetBSD-current is extremely flaky.
I'm probably going to have to revert to NetBSD-1.3.2.  That one runs
reliably for weeks on end (and then crashes).
