 	Tell that to the bank of 4GB amd64 4000+ boxes in the server room
 	behind me running a mixture of postgres, tomcat, and perl apps.

 	There are some applications where one of NetBSD or Linux is clearly
 	a better choice, and many more where both will work fine.

 	Certainly there is a lot of embedded development happening on
 	NetBSD at the moment, but that is why it has release and
 	development branches :)
