 Not too long ago..less than a year..I played with the then state of the 
art NetBSD-0.8

 now there is NetBsd-current and Freebsd-1.1gamma (sounds really official dont
it?!)

 so.. why do we have 2 different systems here?
I mean whats WRONG with netbsd that had to have freebsd out there?
and should I run netbsd-current or freebsd-1.1gamma?
please note I am running BSDI (bsd/386) 1.1 right now...
I want somthing similar if not exact to its operations.

did netbsd fix that #$@%$^^ bug that locked up WD controllers?
why hasnt netbsd come out with another release?
its been SOOOO LONG.

help!
