Hehe, you hit the nail right on the head :). One minor "nit": LinuxDC is
our project for porting Linux to the DC (which basically means better/new
driver support since Linux already runs fine (w/out any DC-specifc
drivers). "DCLinux" refers to Yaegashi's longstanding DC port (first done
around Summer 2000), and it's a different port than LinuxDC. The fsck'd up
thing is that they both derive from the same codebase, although there is
more active *driver* (not distro) development in LinuxDC.

Heh. I don't care to get religious about this stuff, it's just I've never
learned how to use *BSD and I never had the time to play with
NetBSD/Dreamcast. The code is *definitely* interesting to look at though
;-).
