[snip] I've been using NetBSD for about a year now. I originally chose it over FreeBSD because there is a user community of NetBSDers in my area. I've had a few problems with it but nothing worth mentioning. However, I am now in the process of changing over to FreeBSD. When (and if) I come up with something substantial that seems to be different, I'll let you know! Later, FM P.S. I am changing to FreeBSD for two reasons 1) The user community seems to be more energetic and 2) a corporate sponsor makes obtaining "hard copy" (i.e. cdroms) of official releases easier -- Frank W.
