I started using Solaris 2.4 and when I startup Netscape, 10Megs of memory it
tied up right away.  Netscape (BSD-unknown) is half 5Megs+-.

As for performance, I personally think NetBSD is much faster on a lesser
machine.

>> Have you ever tried NetBSD vs. Solaris on the same box [tm]?
i.e. Solaris on a 200Mhz Pentium w/ 128 Megs seems slower than my 133Mhz
Pentium w/ 32Megs.

>> Solaris has nothing (besides SMP) that you need.
Yep.

just my opinion.
