congratulations to you and everyone who made this possible! :)
my first NetBSD experience a couple of years ago gone bad (probably my =20
fault) but with 2.0 everything works pretty good and I'm already =20
getting familiar with it.
Good work! Well done guys! :)))

Yes, it's right, the only source which should be trusted is the =20
official site.
I was just thinking there wouldn't have been a vax binary package tree =20
any more but now that I know it would be done, I feel better! :))
I found that recompiling packages on VS4000/90 is fast enough and I've =20
done some work to fit NetBSD to my personal use (vim, links, wget...)
Since older vaxen are not as fast, maybe these packages are useful to =20
someone, so I put them on:

Happy vax year! :)
