You're gonna get me flamed here! That was deliberately not sento the list :->
I bought my DC because of what I saw on the netBSD site, it is clear and well
done.
I have booted my DC with netBSD and even played hangman on it. But the simple
fact is that I see little sign of development activity here (flame away if I
am wrong).
I can boot my DC into X (after a fashion) on Linux - and there seems to be
real development activity going on.
Whatever you do, you're going to have some difficulties as you are using
Windows - you'll need an environment like Cygwin - it can be done, though.
Better still, join the revolution and get some free software!
