Hi - I'm interested in looking into NetBSD. I've done a fair amount
with Linux, but I'm really a mac person, and have been looking around
for a Mac Unix. What I'd like to know is, has anyone out there run
NetBSD on an LC III, and are there gotchas I should know about before I
try to install it?

Also, I'm probably going to replace my LC III with a Power Mac this
spring. Does NetBSD work in emulation, and what is the status of the
port to the PPC chip?

Thanks.
