Ahem... so no Apache... but why games, X11, compiler? After all, an OS isn't necessarily a development platform either. Or a graphics workstation environment either. Or a game platform either. As time goes by, the definition of what is part of an OS and what is a separate application evolves. We aren't living in 1960 anymore. We are in 2006. NetBSD definitely needs to stay up-to-date with what a fantastic operating system should be. Gilles.
