hi,

a small rollout ahead of me (next week and the week following) 
consisting of a few Ultras, i have to decide whether to use NetBSD on 
this machines or not.

for the MP Ultra 2 i decided to go Solaris with pkgsrc, which runs fine.

but i'm not very willing to put Solaris on every machine, as i like 
NetBSD very much and especially it's nearly 'ascetic' attitude in 
everything ;)

so, i could run NetBSD on the single processor machines, but i'm not 
up-to-date regarding things like the almost famous 'sleep forever' 
bug...

anybody?

tia & cheers,
