Me too. For... how many? ... three years now probably. It is a great and well
known Amiga based internet server.

Which is not THAT bad if all what you need is simply a couple of xterms.
Remember that NetBSD doesn't come with Linux-style virtual consoles what is
IMHO the only superiority of Linux/Amiga over NetBSD/Amiga. Sure, you can use
e.g. 'screen' to try to emulate that feature but it is definately less
comfortable.

P.S. Forgot about the second one. Linux has writable adosfs (yes, I know I
should have made it for NetBSD two or so years ago but you all know)...
