I've been using NetBSD for about 3 years, mostly on Sparc. It's been by primary desktop (sparc 5, 170MHz) for about the last 18 months and for the most part I'm pretty content with it. By sticking with lightweight apps (both command-line and GUI) I've found I can get by just fine with what is obviously pretty slow hardware by today's standards. I only fire up the Windoze box now for printing* or viewing web stuff that needs all sorts of plug-ins. One of these days we'll get a "new" computer - probably a Mac.
* I'm currently trying to master the black art of Unix printing... Look for a printcap/gs filter post from me very soon! ;) -Beaker > > Are there many FreeBSD users on the list?
