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? -- Know what foobar means? Where 'bug' comes from?
