The Q800s are good machines  :-)

I've got a Quadra 800 40/500/2xCD (soon to be 40/500+500+80/2xCD, I hope) 
which is running NetBSD 1.4 quite well.  I haven't had any of the weird
problems that I've seen discussed on this list.  I've got X-Windows
running in 8-bit color, and all I need now is a three-button mouse, and to
swap my Etherport NIC for one that's supported so I can set it up as a
proper IP-NAT gateway/firewall.  I did a complete install of the standard
distribution, and I now need more space in /usr (200 MB).
