Well, netbsd-0.9 is a bit more unstable than netbsd-0.8 which I ran
for several months.

Also, I am not sure that shared libraries were available with netbsd-0.9

Last but not least nebsd-current is a rapidly evolving OS and there
is no current snapshot available. There is an upgrade path to
netbsd-current from netbsd-0.9;however, you will be at the mercy
of the current shape of the netbsd-current src tree.


For peace of mind is best to wait till the netbsd group generates
a release then we can start running it and porting apps again.
