Hi everyone,

I got a 486 box installed with linux, and a sun3/50 netboot from the 486.
Now, I am wondering if I can transfer the OS from Linux to NetBSD in 
convenience. (I heard that NetBSD is more like UNIX than Linux. 8-)
I want to know the amount of work like:

   * Do I need to re-partition the disk? I have a 120Meg ext2 partition 
     for the linux.
   * How many floppies I need to grab from the net. 
   * For sure I need to recompile the kernel. But how about the other
     linux packages. Will they work with NetBSD kernel?
   * Do I need to reinstall the XFree386/X11 packages.
   * How many disk space will be used for sun3 netboot? It is about 
     2-3Meg in Linux which makes sun3 work as a dump Xterminal. However, 
     I hope the sun3 can provide net services like telnet and ftp at the
     same time.
 

Any hint is welcome. Thank you.
