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.
