the 4000/60 should be much more faster than any VS3100 model.
Myself I just build my custom NetBSD 1.5 boot CD for 4000/90.
I hope it will work. If it will I will make it avaliable for everyone.
Anyway I have a 4000/60 here also.
I had problems with it, sometimes the system hang and crashd so I dropped
it and I took a 4000/90. I have 2 4000/90 now and tonite I try to install
NetBSD on the second one.
Anyway if you want my 4000/60 I give you it as gift since I do not use it
anymore, you only have to pay the transport DHL or UPS or whatever.

Ciao
