   Hello,

   Does somebody know whether I can run BSD on a VAXstation 2000?
   If so, where can I get it and can I order it on a TK50 tape?

DEC makes this neglected little operating system called Ultrix.  We're
running here on only about 700 workstations...

Your only other solution would be to wait awhile for the very betaish
port of NetBSD/VAX to stabilize.
