I use NetBSD on my home workstation. I run X, use blackbox as my
window manager and use netscape, links (and lynx), vim, gvim, nedit,
Gimp and other programs to do every day work.

I don't know if any come with an actual book. (On a side note: I am
researching/beginning to write a generic Unix book using mostly NetBSD for
the examples.)
