In the English version, the first box reads
"My desktop runs on NetBSD - and it runs it very well"
I think this "and it runs it very well" should be removed. It makes it
sound like we're proud of having finally managed to get NetBSD running
half-decent on a workstation.
I'd suggest swapping "Servers" and "Workstations" and then have
"Workstations" read
"Of course my desktop runs NetBSD as well!"
This puts the server first -- and as any *nix, NetBSD is, I think,
primarily a server OS. The next logical extension from the server is
the workstation, so that's why I'd put it after Servers.
Similarly for the German version.
Just my $.02. Nice job otherwise!
