Not even that. The machine is mostly administered by SSH. :) Console is 
used once every other week when I really need to, but NetBSD is so 
stable that I never really need to go to console. :)

Then again, what is GnuScreen?

that is very common and for which the Linux drivers work, so I expect 
the NetBSD to work smoothly too. :)

Will try to do the swap sometimes this week. :)
