I had to install then here because my users are used to GNU tools, especially
for writing sripts. The BSD ones don't have the same options or semantics.

I wouldn't use them myself, but I've already been able to convince them that
a NetBSD machine would be better than Solaris or Linux for the mail/www/ftp
server, don't ask too much in one time ! :)
