NetBSD 1.0/i386 is rock solid, and arguably more of a "clean" release than 2.0. I've run both; I'm running FreeBSD now. NetBSD has it's own problems, the main one being an installation procedure which is not only unfriendly but actively hostile towards sharing a disk with another OS; but stability is not one of those problems. -- ......................................................................
