    I have old sun boxes that run great on netbsd, but like shit on Linux.

    FreeBSD is for new hardware, NetBSD bring a really modern incarnation of 4.4BSD to all hardware big or small, short or tall. I'm not a dumpster diver, but there are boxes that are useful but too old to upgrade, too useful to throw out, and not new enough to handle bloasted linux distros.

    I also like NetBSD better than OpenBSD. If anything troll OpenBSD and trojaned tar theo the idiot. OpenSSH should be ripped away from those morons. Mr theo no package management.

    NetBSD isnt meant to be your desktop, kiddies, so stop comparing it to redhat.

    And the EXT3 filesystem, and Reiser, is crap. If anything say, JFS or XFS.

    Also, the linux kernel is rarely seen in a 100% working sate. Seriously. Configure it, select everything and compile with the recommended compiler. See how many warnings and show stoppers you get.

    At least with FreeBSD its clean, source is formatted readably, and has comments.
