Oh, I expect quality from NetBSD, which is why it sits on my servers,
thought it does encourage laziness on my part.

Mostly, I am curious because my planned upgrade of Sun servers will
have to move to Solaris.  Recent talk about NetBSD SMP coming out has
me hoping this doesn't have to be so.

But, if NetBSD SMP is going to be a slow thing like the other projects,
there isn't much point in making plans in that direction.

If it's not running yet, then obviously no one can make any comparisons.

It's easier with Intel/AMD hardware, because I have more OS choices that are
OK with me (Linux and FreeBSD).
