It wouldn't be actually, one of my oldest servers at home, "Stargate"
is a P75 that used to run 2 SCSI-1 chains fulltime - the only data
corruption I've ever had was PEBCAK (ie: I set IRQs wrong, or did
stupid things to the chain, like forgetting to terminate the chain
properly) or hard drives dieing (the disks were old).  It still runs
when I turn it on too. (Its still in Canberra, I'm in Sydney.  I don't
get access to it much.)

That machine started with Debian 2.0 (hamm) - it currently runs 2.1
(slink).
