There's a lot of companies unloading them cheaply and they make fine samba servers and DNS boxes and FreeBSD on them would be an improvement. I don't see a lot of home and small FreeBSD sites with a pile of Sun Ultras as target boxes -- but Sparc2/10/20's are getting as common at fleamarkets as 486s and P100s.
