Now would be a dumb time to jump the NetBSD ship. 1.0 is due to be
released in a couple weeks (I believe by the end of July was the
target), and it's one helluva OS.
I'd be just a little more patient. NetBSD-1.0 is excellent, very
stable, very fast, has lots of bug fixes. It will also be the first
completely 4.4BSD-lite based kernel (totally USL unencumbered).
(All facts gleaned from the current procession of events.)
