I was thinking a bit about that in the last two days after 
Marks comments on my initial email and it makes sense 
considering that NetBSD _is_ the base OS. So it should be 
left like that.

I haven't had a look at htdocs including the guide and the 
HOWTOs etc. (doing cvs checkout now), but the same style 
would be good. This could lead to some sort of an 
"extended/User" guide covering installing and configuring 
software from pkgsrc, which can lead up to creating a 
desktop environment based on the NetBSD OS.

What about a HOWTO guide book, where various HOWTOs can be 
collected into one guide and evolve? This may can be 
combined with Klaus thought...
