[rescue] BSD's for Ultra and 20's

A couple of months ago, there was no small amount of discussion on the
relatvie advantages of NetBSD vs. OpenBSD on Sun's. I'm interested
specifically in an Ultra1, as neither handles sparc SMP (RSN, I'm
sure), and all my 32 bit sparcs are multiproc. 

So, does anyone recall the upshot? I recall the statement that the
network stack on either was far superior to linux, and maybe that the
context switching on Net(?) was better than Open???? Is there a
general preference?

Cheers
