Hi Jeremy,

OpenBSD has a far more mature port to the Zaurus at the moment than NetBSD:

http://www.openbsd.org/zaurus.html

It's probably the best bet for day to day use if you need audio and touch screen
support. Hopefully the NetBSD port can benefit from the work of the OpenBSD
people and quickly get to on a par in terms of feature support.
