Are those sparc or ultrasparc stations? If they are the prior,
they are a bit slow to function as graphical terminal servers.
They make nice bridges or routers if there are space SBUS NICs.
Using them as clients to setup a Solaris JumpStart lab would be
another use.

As a metric, it took me about 20 minutes to generate the DSA host
key after a fresh installation of OpenBSD on a sparc2.

They would make decent low end web servers. The best part about
this platform is that it would take a lot for a script kiddie to
find a working exploit. I had the most luck with Debian in the
past.
