I'm actively (i.e. I will in the end) planning to put NetBSD on my 
LCIII (I bought it for that very purpose in fact!) and wondered if 
it was able to spin down the hard disks during idle time. I have 
two Quantum ProDrive SCSI disks on it (on in, one ext) and they 
make noise. It's vitrually silent with them off though. It'd be 
nice, as it's gonna be a DNS, to have them shut off when it's idle 
as disk access will be largely unnecessary apart from booting and 
shutting down.

don't get to bid for the tail and the wing. Somebody puts it 
together and says, this is an airplane, I guarantee it, lets go fly'
