NetBSD works on this machine.  You'll get performance comparable to SunOS
on the same box.

If you want to run X, 16 MB RAM and 200 MB disk are best.  Although with
today's RAM prices, you might as well load the machine to capacity.

I have IPC/16M/2 GB

Here's a df from my IPC (running SunOS at the time):

NetBSD is installed under /netbsd.
