Thanks.  Being a recent convert from former FreeBSD user, I still have the 
habits of seeing, expecting and organizations of the way FreeBSD does its 
things.  My modern laptop seems to like NetBSD (it didn't like FreeBSD too 
much!) and I love it as well.  Only wishes that Linux emulation base gets 
upgraded to SUSE 7.x or Redhat 7.x standards.  SUSE 6.x base is too ancient 
these days.
