Before we invest too much time in updating limekiller, I'd like to see
it move to newer x86 hardware, either as a VM or dedicated. Would
Sure, that's reasonable. the package stuff was easy, and quagga really
needed updating.
NetBSD still be the best OS choice on x86?
I think so; the v6 networking there is very solid and the OS
update/package management bits are very sensible. We know it works at
the scale we need (2K+ routing table entries).
NetBSD works very well on xen, in case that matters; I have multiple big
machines running as dom0 with a lot of domUs at BBN.
