 I started out in the BSDs before Linux was ready for Prime Time, first
 with BSD/OS, then later running internet services (DNS, HTTP, FTP,
 POP3, SMTP) on FreeBSD.

 I've wanted to go back to a BSD for a more old-school desktop OS, been
 tempted to look at NetBSD. I have an old 4th gen i7 desktop laying
 around (4c/8t) that I hate seeing go to waste that might be a good
 candidate.
