Sounds good enough to me.  Basically, it's a GUI for UNIX, something 
that's somewhat necessary for you as an individual to truly multitask on 
a machine if you ask me...

Yes, if there aren't any ready references available, I'll add them, but 
the FAQ (and related docs) are available as formatted text, plain text, 
html, and the sgml source from:

ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/NetBSD/docs/

I hope this helps.

Later.
