I am runing Tru64 5.1 on a PWS 500au.

If NetBSD gets
1) a cc(1) that generates as fast and optimal code as the Tru64 cc(1)
2) a file sytem that is that fast, flexible and reliable as AdvFS[1]
3) a X-Server for my PowerStorm 4D50T graphics card[2] with suitable
acceleration
I will switch to NetBSD.
[1] AdvFS is jornaled. A mounted FS can grow, shrink, be moved to an
other disk, spreed across multiple disks to get more capacity...
Snapshots / Clones can be taken... Remark: This are features of the FS,
not an underlying LVM.
[2] The 4d50T is similar in performance to the SGI Indigo2 HighImpact.
