I had a MicroVAX II with some upgrades (KA655 CPU, 16M memory, 2G DSSI disk...) running 4.3BSD around the year 2000. I used Ultrix to stage the OS installation. Such a cool computer. Loved it, but I finally said goodbye to it when simh added VAX support. I kind of miss that machine, now that I think about it.
I see lots of potential applications for the various BSDs today, but no place I've worked has really given me the latitude to use whatever I want. Most places have forced me to use RHEL for the support that's available. :-(
