[geeks] opinions on netras vs ultras?

[alex j avriette]

I am looking over stuff on ebay and it looks like i might be able to 
swing a netra t1 @ 360mhz for around $250. this does sound like an 
excellent deal to me, for my purposes of java development. the only 
drawback i see to it is the lack of video card, but that doesnt bother 
me since i have quite a few boxes that can be an xserver for it.

so does anyone have one of these theyre parting with? know somebody who 
does?

the other machines ive been looking at are the ultra 2/3/5/10/30 ilk, 
and i just cant seem to justify the $400 for an ultra10/360 (or $900 for 
an ultra10/440!). the netra takes up a lot less space, is cheaper, 
easier to move around, comes with two nic's, and so on. whats your take 
on this, geeks?
