On 10-Dec-98 Neil A. Carson spoke unto us all:
#  Why do we believe in NetBSD?

Thats a very important question that we should be answering on the web page. 
Cute little quotes like "solutions not hacks" might be good.

#  To users, what does it offer over and above the competition?

This would be idealy done in a manner that doesn't degrade the competition.  Ie:

We have USB, and linux doesn't.  Is not an acceptable statement, just saying
"We have full USB support on a variety of architectures" is an open ended
statement that lets the users do their own research, and come to the above
conclusion.  ;)

#  Why should people choose NetBSD?

Things like "production quality OS", "reliable backwards compatibility" and
"stable kernel"  might go nicely here..
