Hi,

As a final year university project, I am designing a set top box which
uses the StrongARM SA1100. All software will be Java based, and I am
writing the Java virtual machine (JVM). I am curious as to whether NetBSD
would be a suitable OS in such an application. Since all execution is done
through the JVM, only a lightweight OS is required. Does anybody have 
any opinions on the suitability of NetBSD, or be able to provide
pointers to useful information such as kernel sizes, or NetBSD threads?

Thanks
