- | NetBSD, in general, seems like a hobby OS. The documentation, though verbose, isn't very clear. Their driving focus is to be able to work on as many platforms as possible. | ||

- | Upstream provides packages in both binary and source format. I'm not sure how splitting their resources affects actual package availability (perhaps do a version match against binaries and source installs?). | ||

- | On the other hand, nobody runs it, so it could be interesting to see what it can do. | ||
