My 2c:
You can't beat OSX _instant_ wake and sleep over, sure, NetBSD that we
all know and love, but from recent reports hasn't quite got this (for
a laptop) necessary functionality quite right yet ..
fink is also good. Omniweb is the best :)
We need a real terminal though, that isn't a) ansi ignorant
(Terminal.app), b) doesn't use OpenGL to display text and costs moolah
(GLterm) and c) runs as a Mac app (ie. not an xterm in XDarwin).
