This is probably an often asked question but since I don't see a current
posting here can someone fill me in on how NETBSD and FreeBSD differ and
the advantages (disadvantages) of using one or the other on a 'pc'. Also,
any comments between these two and linux are welcome. (I have a friend
who uses linux and notices that the machine 'freezes' while paging - is
this a property of linux or the IDE drives he is using).

Thanks,
alan
