Been using Linux since I bougth RedHat 3.0.3.  Just installed NetBSD 1.5.2
on an old Lifebook (520T) and it went in without a hitch.  It was a breath
of fresh air seeing a full OS install occur without a 100 questions or 100
services started.  I had to manually setup X but that's no biggy once you've
done it a 10 or so times.

Install was flawless -- the machine just works (though it did panic on me
when I accidentally ejected the CD without unmounting it first).
