Possibly. I've actually got two Qube2's, the other one I've put Gentoo
on. I know it's not really a direct comparison, but with Linux on it, it
stays up for much longer, and I'm fairly sure I get measurably faster
NFS performance out of it too.

I think it crashed once initially in the same sort of high network/disk
I/O situation, but it's been updated a few times since, kernel included,
and I haven't had it crash since. Certainly the traffic I throw at it I
know would crash the NetBSD-running Qube.

I've also tried using a 3Com network card in the PCI slot, and as
another poster has pointed out (and myself in an earlier thread) the
performance is abysmal.
