'Evangelism' is an insidious word. What kind of user would you want to
bring in? Linux or other *Bsd refugees, complete n00bs, power users?

The major stumbling block here is that Netbsd doesn't run on tablets
and smartphones. I had to buy an old laptop to have a good chance to
run Netbsd, I am not sure how it will work on new hardware optimized
for Windows 8. Sure, it runs on backroom servers, but then the sys-ad
won't really be bothered by how many click it takes to download an
image.
