The thing ran like a champ for more than ten years, I think. My new server I bought a few years ago in case the EeePC broke, but it never did. I just retired it because I figured it was not necessary to have both systems running, and the newer one uses less power.
Since mine was a first generation Atom system it was 32 bit, and my OS (FreeBSD) began dropping support for i686, so you could say it outlived its own architecture.
Until just this year my home server was an EeePC 900A
Sweet, I wasn’t expecting that. Good use of old hardware.
