I'm relatively new to NetBSD, but have been using FreeBSD and linux for
some time. There are lots of differences between *bsds and gnu/linux.
One of them is the kernel, another one would be the way of distribution,
and a lot more of things...

Linux distributions are, generally, easier to use than a *bsd, but IMHO 
bsds are a lot better than linux.

Just try them and judge yourself.
