Ressurecting an IPX

Thanks to the list I picked up a free IPX. Still my favourite shaped Sun. Time to get it going again.

What OS should I run on it today. No GUI required. Need good disk utils, like rsync, and smb/afp or nfs networking.

Whats the biggest capacity and fastest type of hard disk I can use with it. It has an external drive which boots nicely but needs a new internal drive. Chiefly I want to use it to copy ageing floppy disks onto a network drive (how the mighty fall eh).
