Oh sure!! Now you tell me that !!  :-)  I would have used Debian, but
the installer seems to be having problems on the Ultra2 for some reason
which I can't figure out.  And I've been wanting to use NetBSD for
a while so I figured what the hell !!

I'm assuming that you had contacted that GNUstep developers as well,
yes ?

I'm planning on working on NetBSD related stuff once a week
on Fridays.  I'll see what I can do this coming Friday.
