Post #1903945

There are a couple things that might bother me setting up NetBSD as a server compared with other options. FreeBSD has Capsicum and Jails, while OpenBSD has Pledge/Unveil. And obviously Linux has process namespaces, making containers possible. In any event, all of the other options have given serious consideration to isolation and/or sandboxing via various means. There is also a huge difference between what is installable via pkgsrc when compared with FreeBSD ports (or your typical Linux distribution, for that matter). It's probably enough for my needs, but you miss out on the majority of the modern Gnome and KDE Plasma ecosystems (Gnome packages in pkgsrc are stuck anywhere from version 3.36 to 40, meanwhile you can install KDE4). I can see myself getting involved in packaging if I follow through with this migration, because it's pretty obvious there is a need.
