As far as I know, all 4M class machines now work under netbsd. Could
be wrong, but my ss5 works fine (no cache yet, but that's a side issue).

Anyways, I'm sure if people wish to they'll have a look at the linux stuff.
I did once, and unfortunately my first impression was "This boot, how?"
Of course things may have changed since then. Besides that, the entire
linux kernel I beleive is GPL'd which makes it non-useful to anyone here.

I agree. This entire concept of keeping flamming down as it's non
productive to anything hasn't quite sunk in yet with Neil.
