Same here. But one other thing to add for new responses about "Why NetBSD", the rump kernel.

Years ago I had to get a very old document off of a DOS diskette. So I tried:

* On Linux: accessing the diskette would cause a panic or a reboot or massive read failures.

* FreeBSD: panics all the time

* NetBSD: panics. But then I remembered it had rump. So I said, why not try that. Started up rump, got a few code dumps, but after a some tries I got a bit over 90% of the document off of the diskette. The main system had no issues with the rump kernel crashing.

So that alone is worth the "price of admission" :)

FYI rump is essentially unmaintained since its author left NetBSD years ago

Wow this is cool. I always get fascinated by how people have used NetBSD.

Linux can do that with User Mode Linux.
