Got a MacPro 6,1 Late 2013 (the Trashcan) a couple of months ago.
Wanted to use it as server instead of PowerMac G5, too much heat in the room. Idea also to run several OS.
Completed now for #MARCHintosh.
Monterey as boot OS and running Mojave, Lubuntu under VirtualBox.
To be more int the #MARCHinstosh spirit, running also minivmac
Besides the fun to make everything working, here are the usage:
This is for me the best complement to the Macmini M1, 8 GB 256 GB that I am using for daily tasks with Windows 11 under Parallels Desktop.
Happy to help if anybody has difficulties configuring and using VirtualBox

Besides the fun to make everything working, here are the usage:
- Mojave to run DiskTracker, used for decades to catalog CD, DVD and now HD, SSD and SD Cards
- Lubuntu to be able to mount EXT formatted drives. Never succeed to install ex2tfuse by the way...
- minivmac to optimize use of BlueSCSI and SCSI2SD.
