I agree on that. As far as it's on a Unix-for-all basis as an ideological 
approach and only if it's on a mirror-of-ftp.uni-r-basis (WITHOUT the 
PC-nameing convention, we're talking about Unix here) I think that
NetBSD on aminet would be fair. 

But then: Why not advertise more for NetBSD and its distribution sites. Why 
not put FAQs, Infos etc. on Aminet and tell the people how to ftp to 
ftp.uni-regensburg.de. Maybe they could integrate a download-NetBSD-part into
adt... :)

Seriously: I think that if Aminet wants to mirror NetBSD, it should do so, 
but they should preserver the Directory-structure and naming convention of
ftp.uni-regensburg.de. It would cause much too much confusion to change 
names etc. and that would also go against the NetBSD-for-all-platforms 
conventions. 

Just my $0.02,

Ciao,
