Hello

["Thomas D. Dean" <tomdean%wavecable.com@localhost>]

New prospective user to NetBSD.

I started with the BSD group at SLAC, at least a few years ago.  BSD 
Unix (1600bpi tape)  and Sun OS.  Then, something I could afford.  I 
used 386BSD 0.1 on a DEC Celebris.  Later, FreeBSD started supporting 
SMP, so I moved there to take advantage of the Celebris' dual P90's. 
Ah, the good old days.  A 10 MiB disk was large.

I moved from FreeBSD to Linux some 10 years ago, running from 
(whatever), maybe clang.

Nolw, I am thinking of running again.  I like an OS I can interact with, 
not one that 'Does everything for me'.  The thought of installing things 
in ~/.local and ~/.bin is of the Windoze one-user-one-machine philosophy.

I use X and TWM.  I just wasted 4 hours on an Ubuntu 18.04 system 
attempting to get X + TWM to work from login and to remove snap.

I am still looking.
