Hi,

Here are two more data points:

1) I have a IIcx running NetBSD 1.2.  It is a web server that holds my
NetBSD pages <bullwinkle.aisol.net> (running Apache 1.2.1) and a mail
server. It has 20MB RAM and when I used it to run X, it ran X in color.

bullwinkle% uname -a
NetBSD bullwinkle 1.2A NetBSD 1.2A (GENERIC) #7: Thu Oct 24 21:29:34 EDT
1996 ivanenko@taras.mit.edu:/usr/src/sys/arch/mac68k/compile/GENERIC mac68k
bullwinkle% w
 7:59AM  up 76 days, 16:49, 2 users, load averages: 0.12, 0.09, 0.08

2) My main work computer is a Centris 650 with 40 MB RAM running 1.2
current.  This one runs X and loads of programs.  Among other things, I
sysadmin a LAN of mostly BSDI boxes, but "ratbert" is my main workstation.

ratbert% uname -a
NetBSD ratbert 1.2E NetBSD 1.2E (RATBERT) #0: Tue Jun  3 09:49:58 JST 1997
mark@ratbert:/usr/src/sys/arch/mac68k/compile/RATBERT mac68k
ratbert% w
 8:14AM  up 58 days, 21:11, 13 users, load averages: 0.13, 0.11, 0.08

I have only experinced a complete panic and system crash once (and I did
something really stupid, so it was supposed to panic) using two NetBSD
boxes for about 9 months.
