Nahkola,
You asked alot of questions. I take a shot at one of them:

Yes. I'm running a linux http/ftp server inhouse on a B180 with 200GB disk.
It mirrors RH/SuSE/Mandrake and Debian for Cupertino site.
I have to get mrtg running again to collect stats.
Nightly updates and it's never crashed.
BTW, this box also serves as my regular desktop.

I don't do RAID or NFS. I mean this *is* a mirror.

lmbench results are in the parisc-linux mail archive (lists.parisc-linux.org).
IO/FS stuff was comparable, linux context switching sucks.
