Yup.  I used to run it on 425 and 433 systems.  I know several people 
who currently do.  (I'm now just blessed with older hp300 systems :-)

I know one fellow who is running a "virtual domain"-hosting WWW server on 
an hp380, which is basically a 425 without the Apollo badge on the front 
(and no EISA hardware), in a different case.

Should run quite well.  Several advantages:

	- Source code to the OS.

	- It's a BSD system ... I tend to like the feel of a BSD system :-)

	- No facist licencing.

As far as HP is concerned, the m68k line of HP systems is dead.  HP-UX 9 
was the last release for them.  If you run NetBSD, you get a system that 
will continue to mature.

See http://www.NetBSD.ORG/Ports/hp300/index.html for more information.
