I can't speak to Linux on the pmax, but, in general, Linux is much closer to
SysV than NetBSD is (duh!). For someone who isn't used to switching away
from one flavor of Unix to another, and whose experience is SysV-based,
using a BSD is likely to be *extremely* frustrating. That person is better
served by Linux.
