So in preparation for taking on a new OS (netbsd) I've been reading
the docs and trying to make sure I have answered most of my questions
about hw, things like PCMCIA support, and sound etc.

2 things:
Thing the first: Is there a web accessible list of all the packages
available for netbsd? I'm groping around in the FTP site without a roadmap
and that's led me to 
/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/pkgsrc
where there exist no README.html as promised in the website :P

The other:
What are the main gotchas of switching from linux to bsd?
What habits are going to get me in trouble?
Cultural and technical differences not emphasised in the documentation?

larry,
(who's maybe wondering if he really is tired of having most things 'just
work')
