The use of 3.0 is not recommended on the Qube.  There are some issues
with the restore CD that require manual configuration of the network
interface (thus requiring a serial connection to the Qube), and
stability issues with network drivers.

No-one has really commented on 2.1.

NetBSD-current probably contains the numerous patches implemented by
Tsutsui-san, greatly improving stability and performance.
