Hello
New prospective user to NetBSD.
I started with the BSD group at SLAC, at least a few years ago. BSD
Unix (1600bpi tape) and Sun OS. Then, something I could afford. I
used 386BSD 0.1 on a DEC Celebris. Later, FreeBSD started supporting
SMP, so I moved there to take advantage of the Celebris' dual P90's.
Ah, the good old days. A 10 MiB disk was large.
I moved from FreeBSD to Linux some 10 years ago, running from
(whatever), maybe clang.
Nolw, I am thinking of running again. I like an OS I can interact with,
not one that 'Does everything for me'. The thought of installing things
in ~/.local and ~/.bin is of the Windoze one-user-one-machine philosophy.
I use X and TWM. I just wasted 4 hours on an Ubuntu 18.04 system
attempting to get X + TWM to work from login and to remove snap.
I am still looking.
