I'd be interested to hear your (and Mouse's) thoughts about the state
of the various BSDs.  Why don't you trust Free- and Net- (anymore)?  I
know that Mouse uses older versions of NetBSD, also.  I think I may
have an idea of why you might not "trust" them -- I've had my own
problems with recent NetBSD releases -- but I'd like to hear your
reasons articulated, if you wouldn't mind, especially as you say your
opinion dates back years.
