I am running it since January.  So far, I haven't found the time to make the
switch over to either NetBSD or FreeBSD, so I am still running 0.1pl0.2.4,
compiled for me by a colleague from the Physics dept.  Motif has worked just
fine, there were no problems whatsoever.  My physicist colleague has also 
bought the Motif package, and says it works fine with NetBSD 0.9.
