I was wondering the same thing. I just installed NetBSD on the Digital 3000
(AXP 21064). I must say... "wow". Configuration nightmare lies ahead of
me, but the box is working after more than a year of inactivity. I need to
get a new disk (the one it's got is partially busted)
I was sketching a plan to Debianize the box: browsing the hurd archives I
guess I should start trying to get base up and running, then any important
pacakge not in base, then the standard packages as the need shows up and
then slowly work my way thru the devel section. Noone needs this machine
for anything useful, so this can take as long I want.
To make things easier, I though I should keep as much of the BSD -devel
environment as possible, so configure scripts detect BSD and actually work
with that instead of a Linuxified BSD system.

I'm still wondering where the thin line that makes every flavor BSD appart
lies, let alone figure out where the GNU line is drawn.
