it's got space for two drives and three SBus cards.

blech. :)

good thinking.

stick with NetBSD, SMP is there, and will be far better than that which linux
uses i'm sure. (especially if it's the same SMP as linux does with x86, the
machines we had were faster single proc since linux spent so much time doing
context switches with two CPUs)

NetBSD will fit very easily onto a 200M disk.  i've done it multiple times.
what sort of software are you trying to add that's taking up so much space?
