Actually, I would prefer that the NetBSD team successfully port NetBSD to the 
AS2x00 machines, NetBSD has the DEFEA support I'm looking for, it's BSD-style 
(as opposed to OSF1 which I understand is sysV style), it's free, it's Open 
Source, and it 'Just Works' (usually).

I'd trade it for an AlphaStation 500, (it's a dual proc, dual power supply, 
dual storageworks shelf model), but I'd rather just have NetBSD work 
correctly on it.  Hey, I wonder if the NetBSD guys would be interested in 
time on it for hacking purposes?  I could hang it off a console server by 
it's serial port, and give them IP access to it and the console server...
