NetBSD 5.0 is indeed a major step forward for NetBSD. This presentation was what convinced me to give NetBSD a try back when 5.0 came out. I have been running it at home for a while now. The only systems I have at home right now are FreeBSD and NetBSD. There are both nice systems; I like both of them and it's very nice to see how BSD is definitely *not* dying by using the various BSDs and seeing how they keep moving forward :-) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
