   Oh, I almost forgot about Slackware. Havn't used it since around 2000, I guess.

   Yeah, but probably "old-school" Linux like Gentoo or Slackware, not the   
   "modern" stuff most distros ship today.

   Retired my last OpenBSD system around 2005. I'm pretty much FreeBSD and Linux   
   these days.

   I think I tried NetBSD only once on an old Sparc IPC station back in the late   
   1990ies. Didn't work too well for me back then, as far as I can remember I   
   went to OpenBSD on that box quite quickly.
