You can try FreeBSD or NetBSD.  FreeBSD is available in full release form
from freebsd.cdrom.com, with many of its recent extensions.  The latest
greatest last version of the Net/2 code base will be coming out in a week
for ftp.  FreeBSD is currently highly tuned for I386 and has performance
extensions in its machine independent portions too.  (But no ports are
currently available except for the I386.)  NetBSD in its -current form is
a little harder to set-up, but NetBSD 0.9 (an earlier version) is available.
