Come on, brian, we all know that that doesn't leave you a very usable
machine. I can get linux "up and running" with one disk. Two if I
decide to go the boot/root disk method. Three more disks get me a
basic install.
But using two disks I can get the kernel loaded and running, and then
get myself on the net, so I can install from there. Let's not talk
about minimal disksets, ok?
If you want to get into religious crusades of Linux vs. NetBSD, take
it to Flaming_Thoughts.
BTW: People are so Linux-happy because its smaller, faster, and
improving at a greater rate than NetBSD. Come on, why did NetBSD only
get shared libraries last month? Linux has had them for over a year!
It's a religious decision. SIPB chose Linux. You didn't.
