What is the current state of the different flavors of *bsd concerning
YP? I switched to NetBSD, because this was the only, which contained
this, but I am not very happy with this decision, as NetBSD-current does
not support SCSI devices, which are offline at boot time, and no codrv.
And I am not happy with the reordering done to the gnu tree, because
it makes it more difficult to be actual in GCC. At least, I to get the
stuff twice (from GNU AND NetBSD).
Please correct me, if I am wrong.
Is it possible and advisable to switch back to FreeBSD?
