NetBSD runs fine on my cobalt qube2 and bluntly, administering it is
orders of magnitude simpler than administering RedHat Linux system,
once you do a little learning..
Pkgsrc rules..
To install a program and *all* of its dependencies, just
make
make install
make clean
:) thats it..
Updating software off the net and keeping abreast of all security
patches can similarly be completely automated.. You can set up cron to
check for security issues every night at 3:00 am or even several times
a day..then install patches automatically...
Performance seems much better than my qube2 running Linux 2.0x too..
