Subject: can I use NetBSD on my machine ???

Hi there,
Here at work I use a decstation 5000/200 as an X-terminal.
The machine has 8 MByte RAM ( really ) and runs ULTRIX 4.1.
The old Xserver isn't very stable and the system often swaps.
Yesterday I read some facts about NetBSD. Now I hope to use
NetBSD instead of ULTRIX. The smaller kernel ( I hope it's
smaller then 4 MB ) and the shared libs could make work with
8 Mbyte RAM easier. Am I right ???
So what's the current status of the pmax port ? How many diskspace
will I need ? ( I have a 285 MB disk ) Is there a port of X11R5
( with a server ) ?
note: our firm won't upgrade this decstation, because we're using
suns. So I have to work with it as is.
Hope You may help,
Patrick.
