Howdy,
I'm an MIT student currently on leave for a few terms, and I'd like to
make sure my computer can run the Athena software when I get back. About
a month ago I lost my Linux system because DOS plowed right over it (my
mistake for trusting DOS) and in an effort to get back up and running real
quick, I went ahead and installed FreeBSD because it was easy, not really
paying attention to the other BSD's out there. Do I need to be running
NetBSD to run your Athena port? And if not, do you consider NetBSD to be
any better or worse than FreeBSD in general? I gather from your choice of
NetBSD that something is better about it.
Thanks much!
