Installing is indeed quick... BUT... it requires space on a hard disk. 
When you want to "look" at an environment (and not just the OS) to see 
how it behaves, you need much more than the simple installation. You 
need to get some apps and a user environment.

That is why the live CD is so popular. And much less elitist. Not 
everybody has disk space to afford to install an OS just for the sake of 
trying it out... Even if it's the best on the planet (and even that 
criterium is subjective as well as depending on what purpose you use it 
for).

Maybe it's time to build a proper NetBSD 3.0 live CD with a nice GUI and 
apps to match. :)
