I've been using 386bsd with patches for some months now.  At this
point I'm pondering jumping over into the NetBSD world.  I'd like
anybody's comments on it, or it in relation to the patchkit.
Give me some arguments that will push me off the on one side or
the other of this fence.  :)

I'd like to re-arrange some partitions which will involve ripping
my whole system apart anyway, so I'm not too put off by having
to "start from scratch" versus a simpler upgrade of new stuff as I
gather would be the case with FreeBSD.

Thanks,

-john
