I also submitted more than one, with backtranslations. It's different
in Swedish, depending on whether you mean "This machine is [currently]
running NetBSD" or "NetBSD is capable of running on this machine".
I would suppose this holds for other languages as well.. Is there a
particular meaning you're after? (I'd assume the second one, from reading
the German versions) It could save some confusion. And typing. :-)
