NetBSD (I installed 2.1 to be safe) is the way I remember Unix--no-nonsense

I don't share your views on linux, but that may well be a matter of
personal taste (or running 3ghz servers with multicore cpus and SATA :-)
But I will say the NetBSD have done an excellent job on their build
system. Near as I can tell it will build for any platform on any
machine as long as it's posix compliant.
I built a clean vax kernel on a linux box without lifting a finger. It was
a most pleasant experience.
and i will always have a soft spot for bsd unix :-)
