Nah, just get OpenBSD (or is it FreeBSD?) -- it's the same kernel.  I
don't actually know what hardware requirements the *BSD's have, but I
know Linux will run on any M68K with a PMMU or any PPC machine :-).

Isn't it a little ridiculous to spend cpu time updating an animated
wristwatch/whatever on the screen instead of putting all available
power into comleting the task?  I guess on an unstable system it is
warranted, however ;-).
