Yeah I prefer freebsd over netbsd aswell... Experimented some with netbsd last week. Sysinstall is better installer! And it gives you a choice of installing ports, I had to download pkgsrc over FTP manually after install, first wondering where to download from... However that may be related to FTP-install with floppy-disk. I gave up when I tried installing different packages from pkgsrc, but the only which worked was "pkgtools" or something like that.
