They had some in the computer lab that I played with now and then when at college, and they were surprisingly cool.
way back when i only had the 5/70 and LFS (Linux From Scratch) just came out and was still for x86, i did LFS on there. i scripted it, too. it took about 55 hours (2.3 days) to build on the 70 MHz machine.
then i made a bootable Linux CD that would boot up on either Sparc or x86. those were fun days. now i am automating cloud stuff with Python.
