I use it as my multimedia (mainly streaming shoutcast radio) server and rsync-backup server, I have 'mpd' installed and a PHP frontend and external LaCie USB disk. I'll run that thing until it melts, I paid $4000 USD for it new. :-/
Here's an old screenshot:

My current laptop is a ThinkPad T43 (14.1" ATI-video variant) running Fedora Core 6. There've been a few in between (mainly old Dell Latitudes from work) that I've donated to less fortunate friends.
