AS I am quite fond of NetBSD on both i486 and amigas, I'd like
to run it on a powerbook as well. I want a machine to lug around
and run NetBSD on it, and not have a intel processor on me
(just personal preference, i know). Is that possible? if so,
what's a good powerbook for that (I'd prefer to just get a use
one). It doesn't need X, it doesn't need graphix. Just emacs,
gcc, TeX and a few other tools.

Any pointers?

cheers,
//konrad
