Hello!
		Just picked up an old 3/50 box, (okay, okay, quit snickering)
and would like to stick Netbsd on it for fun...I have a Linux box at home 
which seems to work pretty well..My questions are these:

1. Are there certain machine requirements to make it run good?
2. Am I kidding myself to expect any kind of reasonable performance
   from this old Sun box?
3. Is ther a FAQ that would answer my questions better?

Any comments, answers, flames, etc.
are welcome!

Thanks,

Nick A.
