NetBSD should work on vax :)

: There is also a wealth of information on googles "groups" with

: pine could actually read... So you could browse this massive
: 'database' of unix knowledge from an ancient unix (well one that has
: either local news with all the google groups, or a TCP enabled
: unix...)

Google kinda did this with dejanews.  Some love it, most tolerate
it...
