Presently I'm just learning to know the system. Found f.e. tip from some
Australian, who claimed: "use NetBSD for servers - and Linux for desktops".
But looking at the amount of the platforms supported, I guess, NetBSD should
be very good for desktops as well. Who wants to make Internet server on PDA?

Or perhaps I'm wrong, are servers NetBSD's main "focus of interest"?

Actually nothing is critical to me (when you mean NetBSD). Of course,
I could buy additional RAM for that machines - it's not as expensive, as it
used to be. But I just would to know... you know what. That, what I'm asking
in this thread for.
