I've just set up NetBSD, myself, after having run Linux for a bit under two years. Not better, not worse - just different. At home: Linux, AIX, Minix, BSD. Most of it on third hand hardware, abandoned because it won't run W95. "Here, take it! It's no use to me!" Silly buggers ;) There'll be no unix-vs-unix flames from this house! They _all_ beat the pants off of W95/3.X/NT. Well, okay, Minix isn't exactly "power", but it isn't meant to be, and I've seen nothing else make complete use of the i286 the way it does.
