That sounds very useful, even for NetBSD users like myself, since most
things will run without change on either system (and the pkg stuff
seems really neat!).

In view of "recent events", I guess NetBSD will not be included?  Does
anybody know of other CD-ROM companies that _might_ include NetBSD on one
of their CD-ROMs.  I think I've heard of "Yggdrasil" in the context of
Linux CDs.  Any others?  Surely there would be enough demand, at least to
squeeze it onto some other CD.
