NetBSD and QIC02

Many thanks to whomever suggested NetBSD for my QIC02 support problem. I've been a long time user of Linux--my last contact with BSD was back in the 80's on a VAX--I think it was 4.2BSD. The last few years, the rot in Linux has been getting to me. It seems that every time I want to do something a little off the beaten path, it's a matter of Googling for "who else has this problem?" and finding patches and putting up with careless distros. And endless bloat implementing things that I didn't even dream that anyone could want. NetBSD (I installed 2.1 to be safe) is the way I remember Unix--no-nonsense and no-frills. The kernel compiled with what I wanted on the first try. I haven't installed KDE yet, but it looks to be pretty straightforward. The surprise is how well NetBSD functions on a lowly Pentium 166. Compiling the kernel is a matter of saying "make" just before you go to bed. Cheers, Chuck
