Hm... I might have a chance to pick up a used dual-Pentium system for
a song soon. While it would be nice to run NetBSD on it, I'm going to
run something that can use both processors. It'll probably be a Linux
system, just for kicks. (Kicks, and Quake under SVGAlib.)

Random assertions:

Linux is *very* useful. I prefer NetBSD. Platform counts are good,
especially when our main selling point is platform independence. You
all have to go see "The Matrix." Green is the most pleasing colour.
