While compiling lftp:

The same thing happened if I use my xennet devices heavily...

NetBSD definitively rocks !

On the other side (read my last entry), I have a SparcStation on which I can only run Solaris (no !), NetBSD or OpenBSD.

Since OpenBSD definitively sucks, I tried to install a NetBSD 2.0_BETA. After one hour I successfully made an ISO with a daily build.

NetBSD is cool. It's small, it works, it's a LOT faster than OpenBSD and the installation process of version 2.0 is a little more friendly than 1.6.

Sure I would have prefered running Debian on this box, but Linux kernel does not support this Sparc processor MMU (Fujitsu).
