I'm considering the idea of putting Unix on my x86 box.
Because I'm more familiar with BSD, and because I've had
a bit of experience running NetBSD on an Amiga, I thought
I'd go with NetBSD again.

However, I find the lack of traffic in this group troubling.
Are the other *BSD variants so much better?  Or is NetBSD
so wonderfully easy to use that no one ever finds occasion
to post anything about it?
