I have been using Linux for ~1 year...

but, with the continued net load on my machine, i seem to "break" linux
networking a bit too much, so i want to install NetBSD on one of my machines

From reading the FAQ's i have a few questions

1. The install process seems a bit...confusing compared to Linux, would
anyone like to shed some light on it a bit?

2. Does NetBSD support more than 16M ram?
i have: ISA mb, AHA1542B SCSI controller ISA SMC Elite Ultra NetCard (ISA)

3. Does NetBSD use Dynamic TCP sockets?



thanks,


send e-mail please :)
