I may have to do so (re NetBSD).

I am just playing round with *BSD on this machine at the moment, and will
probably settle on one or the other..

Though I like OpenBSD due to all of the crypto stuff, and it saves me
having to compile it all, and it still isn't bloated unlike linux can
be.

BTW quick question.

the machine came with an external scsi expansion with two drives, one of
the drives refuses to power up properly, but that is dependent on where it
is sittin in the scsi expansion, ie if I switch the drives around the
other will work and the one that was working doesnt.

any Ideas?
