Well, a "modern Unix environment" (hundreds of megs of Web browser,
running into TLS every time you turn around, bell-and-whistle-infested
UI) is something a -3/60 just doesn't have the computrons to support.

Personally, I wouldn't run SunOS simply for lack of source.  But that's
the only reason; in every other respect, IMO it's a fine choice.  If
you do want source code, I'd suggest older NetBSD - my -3/60 runs (my
own derivative of) 1.4T.  It doesn't support a "modern" environment,
no, but (a) my desire for such a thing is actually negative and (b) a
-3/60 can't really support one anyway, so that's fine with me.
