I had a Vanagon that ran NT, it was really slow and finally crashed,
I also had to upgrade to VanagonNT release 4 because release 3 was not
Y2K compliant.  When I used the upgrade 1st gear stopped working and the
wheels had to be changed because they now conflicted with the turn
signals.  My mecahnic Bill said this was normal and I should expect it
to crash periodicly and just come it and buy upgrades to fix the
problems.
    I have a friend with a Vanagon Diesel that runs Linux, it can outrun
V8's and gets 50 mpg.  It also was free, has never crashed and can hold
more people.
