well, currently it hosts 9 UBB forums - each a seperate installation/domain.
4 PHP driven websites using MySQL as the database
2 Interchange ecommerce sites using MySQL database (see 
http://resultsconsultant.com for an example)
22 normal websites 
2 Unreal Tournament Servers
Running BIND as NS1.prometheusmedia.com
allows privileged VNC remote access for many other people from as far away as 
europe and canada
serves as the router for the interrior network (two nics, one for wan, one 
for lan)
Private and Public FTP services
Hotline services and IRC services
Rodger Wilco server
Zope Development box
serves as the back up server for the other boxes (amanda)
serves as the main MP3 machine - serving MP3's to 3 other boxes
runs on a daily basis such apps as :

Unreal Tournament in player mode (so I can go frag some worthless college 
punks :-) }
XMMS so I can listen and whistle while I work.
Uses XINE on a daily basis for MPEG, AVI, etc playback in full screen mode
Mozilla for browsing
Kmail for my personal mail
KDE and or Gnome (yep - the remote VNC users prefer gnome and run it remotely)
MP3 ripping, burning, etc
DVD viewing (using XINE, of course) in full screen mode - although soon it 
and the 5 channel sound will be piped to my home theatre and bedroom - I 
intend to hook up the infrared remote control system to it.

The really cool thing is that I can be playing UT (32 bit mode no less) while 
2 other people are logged in with VNC running gnome and none of us or the 
website users feel any lag at all.

In short - everything I can possibly think of to do with it, it does
BY the BY-
The http://opensound.com people are supporting PPC based Linux, I don't know 
if thats new or not (this is with their proprietary drivers which I love) but 
I highly recommend the 30.00 for them, very very nice sound output and SBLive 
support - which is available for Macs.

"Where do you want to go today?" why, to my penguin box, of course. I haven't 
used WIN2k since august now, I have barely used MacOS since December- don't 
miss either of them, Just call me the Penguin poster child.
