The thing which bothers me the most here is that MANY companies which
are producing Linsux (I dislike Linux, btw) products are also
producing BSDI ones.  Some even touch FreeBSD.  When I ask them if
they intend to support NetBSD, they alomst always respond with
``What's that?''

That really bothers me.  Public image is important.  Goals along this
line should be to arrange commonly used packages into some sort of
release system.  Linux has a fairly good one I hear, and so does
FreeBSD.

Also, a nice install program would be a HUGE win.

Of course, I'm not able to work on either, so flame away.
