I can't speak about other roots, but the RIPE NCC's root server (K) ran on Sun boxes for a few months only. The fact is they were too slow to keep up with the load immediately after going on-line. Admittedly this is a failure of the organisation to properly benchmark the hardware required, but it is also not a ringing endorsement of Sun either. ;)

The K root now runs Dell PC's.
