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![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

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.
