ok, thanks colin. I will pick up Dave's book, since it is good for OS X 
in addition to NetBSD. Yhea, my real machine is running OS X.


With a few searches on the net, I was able to get some refrence lists 
for unix commands......

Next.... trying to get xwindows going....

ok real stupid newbie question....   please don't flame..


xwindows *IS* a GUI for NetBSD right ?
