This brings up a question in my mind.... I remember about 1 to 1 1/2 
years ago when 386bsd split up into NetBSD / FreeBSD hearing someone say 
that NetBSD was the radical, experimental operating system for experts 
and gurus only, while FreeBSD would be more sane and conservative OS.  
Maybe I'm wrong, but this seems to be reversed.  Could someone refresh 
me on the differences?  Thanks.
