  Well heck here is my  2 cents worth, I was an HP Unix guy at Motorola many years ago and when I had a 3000 I picked up the Amiga release and tape drive new for a mere $50 USD and was really impressed with the documentation and quality of provided software and found a few good utilities via Aminet.  Now, having said that, even at the time of release the X-windows graphical portion of the release was a bit dated but if you used it as a command line oriented server and Unix workhorse it really could be usefull as a business system and fairly secure local server.
(IMHO) If you all ready are comfortable with Unix (S5 R4) you could find some real value in what is included otherwise it is merely a curiosity.  Then again that manuals and even setup experience have real value as a teaching tool.  Well that is my recollection anyhow I have to admit my Novell Netware and HP UX knowledge are both pretty dated and atrophied now.
