How much disk space is required for a full installation of NetBSD - including X windows , all the standard utilities and compilers  etc
How much RAM is required to satisfactorily run X windows?
Does the standard distribution include TeX? SCCS?
What degree of online/downloadable documentation is there?
And now the final question...
Why should I use NetBSD instead of Linux?

Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
Ken
