I use NetBSD on this computer, largely because of a bug in re Ethernet driver that prevents Internet access from this computer.

This bug is shared by FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD but not NetBSD or Linux; Haiku R1Alpha4 also was able to connect.

I use NetBSD despite bugs and difficulties getting X to work including the mouse, permissions on /tmp and /var/tmp directories getting messed up, and the preconfigured static device nodes.
