Otherwise : you wouldn't be able to make such a high recommendation of the software. : recommendation? I guess my response is taken with higher regard that I realized. : I'm sure you wouldn't be pulpit pounding so hard over something that : you haven't used extensively, that would be rather ignorant. : pulpit pounding? that has almost a religious tone to it. I think I've been upgraded in a complete sentence. : I have used NetBSD enough to highly recommend it to anyone looking : for a free unix-like OS. : Ah... obviously from the NetBSD camp. : I have actually used it, I know what it : supports, I know how it installs, I have a feature list, I have utmost : confidence in it's developers.
