    I was amazed at how nice NetBSD 2.0 is. At http://netbsd.org, they have
    a fantastic document appropriately named "The NetBSD Guide". They did a
    fantastic job writing this gem of a document (can't get in enough
    superlatives).

    Under "Software for NetBSD" on the same page is all the software ported
    to NetBSD. They ported everything I ever heard of and more.

    Sounds like you are new to Unix, NetBSD looks like an excellent intro.
