Well, NetBSD would be great with a huge-huge-huge caveat, at least for me. You need to have a real pci video card, ATi or NVidia. The on-board video is insufficient, as well as the twin-turbo 128. NetBSD/Linux just don;t like those cards at all, plus they dont provide much in the way of acceleration.

Depends on what you want to use it for -- mine is a server (helsinki.floodgap.com). If you're not running X, then no worries.

Even so, however, if you stuffed it full of VRAM I should think it would be okay. Not great, because the video isn't accelerated, but it should work. Obviously with totally headless systems like the 9500 you have no choice, of course.
