I had that system! I have 3 6809 systems that run modified Coco OS9 (level
I). I love it actually! :-) I think I have 2 or 3 68K OS9/OSK boxes.

Oh yes, most definitely...I run NetBSD in
production at a number of
sites, and it's wonderful. I only mentioned Linux specifically
because we were specifically discussing Linux. While I like Linux a
LOT, I don't consider it production-ready enough to bet my dinner on
it.
Windows/Linux both need several meg to run. 32 bit addressing is the
killer here. The 386+ is optimized for 8 bit or 32 bit addressing.
Guess what gets used the most.
Now Give me OS/9, that was easy on memory.
