and to put it in context I think NetBSD is cool because it can play on my Amiga 500
Only if youve seriously modded it, from the website : " Due to the MMU requirement, it will not run on A500, A600, A1000, A1200, A2000, A4000/EC030, CDTV or CD32 out of the box. You must install a CPU board on them to run NetBSD ... minimum RAM requirement is about 8 MB FASTMEM, the minimum hard disk space needed is about 75 MB".
