I am currently working in Dublin, Ireland but live in Bristol, UK.  

I have a SPARCstation 2 and was planing on putting Linux on it but was
advised that BSD is more appropriate. 

I know very little UNIX but think I need to get hold of a NetBSD CD.  The
Sun douse not have a CD drive but I think I will have to get one.  I do not
know were to get one from and was wondering if anyone could tell me the
relative merits of Linux/NetBSD?
