Correct them. Every time you see a statement about NetBSD that's
not right, point out the problem. Every time you see someone
mentioning another OS doing foo, mention that NetBSD does foo, too.
If everybody starts doing this, we'll get a sort of `SlashBSD'
effect happening. This is how the Linux crowd did it.

Note that I'm not suggesting we get anywhere near as rabid as many
of the Linux folks did. Gentle prods of `Linux is a good system,
but NetBSD also...' are probably better than `|_1NUX 5UX!!!1! N3T85D
R00LZ!1!!' :-)
