You've identified a contradiction in my spiel.  I'll think about it and
tighten up my argument.

It's my personal opinion.  I think it's an excellent distribution and I
am seeing it grow in popularity.

I've never been a fan of rolling releasees and they break for me all the
time too.  But some people seem to know how to make them work reliably.

In this case, why would they include Btrfs in the default package
repositories?

There's no need to apologise for my networking issue.  I don't even
blame Debian.  Software is very, very difficult to get right.  Sometimes
I'm surprised that computers work at all.

I didn't go into the details of the problem because they are irrelevant,
boring, and it would take a very long time to accurately describe the issue.

Is this whole thread OT because it asks for web hosting recommendations
instead of asking questions specifically about NetBSD?

And I believe that my message was relevant to NetBSD in the sense that
it's about the complexity of software generally.  Some of you may think
I'm drawing a long bow.  I intend this to be my last message on the
topic anyway (although I'm happy to continue to discuss off-list).
