  VMS, NetBSD, supposedly Ultrix, though nobody's ever seen it on a
3100. I'll tell you next week. I think there's a Linux kernel booting
on it, but not much more than just booting.

  NetBSD is pretty capable, very stable, and very slow. OpenVMS is very
capable, very stable, and even slower. I have one running NetBSD, and
thought about putting it up as my webserver. May yet do it.

  I don't think any of the BSD4.x's or 2.xxBSD from PUPS will run on it.
