We just took delivery of an FPS-500.  Right now its running
diagnostics, but within a couple of days, we'd like to have it talking
to the rest of our network -- Sun workstations and servers, and, in so
far as possible, providing the same software tools.

So I'm seeking warnings, advice, or war stories about FPX's YP and NFS
implementations, and about porting the following software:
	GNU emacs
	tcsh
	top
	MDQS (no, we didn't buy NQS -- we're setting up our Suns with
	      MDQS too)

Please note that I haven't yet begun trying to build any of these on
the FPS, so I would just like to hear from anyone who may already have
some of these running to see how hard it is likely to be.  It would be
nice to hear that everything builds like a charm on this machine...

Thanks in advance...
