Finally....I can't wait to get it. Got my spare computer all ready for it.

Should be cool...Linux emulation will be with 2.4.18.

I gotta re-read the changelog again, but that is what stuck out.

I am gonna wait until 1.6.1 to upgrade, because I just got 1.5.2 tuned to my liking last week.

Epseps, what do you use Netbsd for? Desktop, firewall, etc? I'm always curious about other people's setup.

Just a desktop right now. I am behind an SMC hardware firewall/router, but I may set up some rules to make web surfing a bit more efficiant.

As soon as work slows down I am going to make it a backup server after I get the SCSI card and tape drive compiled into the kernel.

If I can get a cheap CDR/RW drive I may throw that on as well. (NetBSD writes to IDE CDR/RW drives without a wierd SCSI emulation layer unlike some operating systems)
