It’s alive
Due to preformance issues, the earlier NetBSD server has been dropped and replaced with Gentoo/Linux. All web applications running on this server seem to be much more responsive. It’s unfortunate that NetBSD/Xen and Xen in general aren’t a bit more polished.
In other news the iBook is seeming more and more interesting, given it appears to meet my needs nearly exactly. Portability, not Windows and battery life. Through my experiences with swsusp and from what I have read, I’m not overly trusting of Linux ACPI support. The lack of cardbus, ir and bluetooth would make it somewhat difficult to use GPRS. However with a bluetooth phone or an usb irda adaptor there would not be much trouble in the long term.
