I run NetBSD on a 3000/500 at work, just to play with - and I haven't
done much of that - but it seems pretty solid.
Indeed, the TC bus support from the Linux/DECstation folk is of value to
the DEC 3000. I just installed Linux on a DS5000/120 - they are
indeed getting there! Nice to have such a machine around to make sure
I don't break anything ;-)
