New digs: NetBSD 3 and X

Well, recently I tried to install NetBSD 3 (3.0.1) on my Gateway. I wanted to try X on it as I have not had X ever on my Linux box. Well, things have not gone swimmingly. First, the sysinst utility did not work properly near the end of installation. Then X, which was said to have been installed, did not start up properly due to bad configuration. Hmmm. I am really confused about this one. I think I will need to repartition the hard drive and install some other distribution. Currently I am thinking about using Gnoppix.

Ports: NetBSD/hpcmips

Are you sick of Windows CE? Do you want a tiny Linux machine? Do you like rubbery, plasticky keyboards? Then this port is for you. NetBSD/hpcmips is a port of NetBSD for MIPS-based WinCE palmtops. About the only model which I saw it running on that is worth getting is the NEC MobilePro 790. But, still, it looks pretty cool. You get X with that little platter, too.
