I installed NetBSD on my Quadra 700, but after installing, have been able to
get nothign else running (no documentation!)

I would like to get ethernet and X for starters.. :) and eventually a web
browser, apache, and perl..

what's the best distribution to use for this machine?

The *BSD world doesn't have seperate distributions like the Linux world
does. NetBSD is a whole distribution.

I'd suggest you run NetBSD 1.3.2, the latest stable release. You can find
it at ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.3.2/ . You can also order a
two CD set from www.netbsd.com. The set is $30, and shipping is either $5
or $10.

There is a FAQ on the web site, www.netbsd.org.

Ethernet and SCSI are working on that machine. Color X is a work in
progres, but grayscale works fine. The problem is we can't change the
color palette once booted. Oh, I think 16-bit color works fine.

Take care,

Bill
