As Mark said you really need to avoid an advocacy flame war on this but:

1) NetBSD is the same as RiscBSD except RiscBSD is tm'ed Causality and is the
'commercial' version of NetBSD (kind of like NCOS is Network Computer Inc's tm'ed
version of various OSes including NetBSD and RiscOS).

2) Linux and NetBSD (NetBSD include RiscBSD/NetBSDarm32) are aimed at different
types of users

3) Licenses differ on Linux and NetBSD (GNU copyleft vs. BSD licensing).

4) Do you want up to date sources (low blow I know Russ :)

Basically just pick one, go with it if it works for you and if it doesn't see if
another does and erm, dont complain too much :)
