Hi,

I am new to NetBSD for the Mac.  I am interested in the following
(all from the perspective of a user that is not interested in doing
kernel builds unless absolutely necessary):

  o How often are the official releases of NetBSD?  

  o How stable are the snapshot releases of NetBSD (like the 1.2b
    mentioned above)?

  o What is the recommended upgrade strategy for a system that has
    been substantially configured (sendmail, uucp, inetd, ...)?

  o NetBSD sounds and looks like a real nice solution for the 68K
    Macs.  What is the outlook for NetBSD given Apple's work on
    MkLinux for the PPC?  

  o Is there a feature set FAQ for 1.2?  

  o ...and anything that might be related to the above...

Thanks,
