Thank you, this is the most explicit help possible! I'll try it, and see
whether there are some other showstoppers or not with NetBSD. 

When I have told to people that I'll try NetBSD instead of FreeBSD (and I
know some OpenBSD fans too), I was asked: "why? why NetBSD? what does it have
that other *BSD flavors have not for the i386 platform?".

I still don't know the answer.

Thanks,
