I percieved FBSD as slower at the times, more bloated so to speak ;-> OTOH it gave a very usable console at 132x60 on a 21" CRT, which NetBSD didn't at the time, at least not on X86. Its ports tree was also more comprehensive. Imagine Lynx, (E)Links(2), W3M on that. Which were perfectly usable then!1!! What else? Lemme think... the slow rebuild to MP from 4.4 to 5 made me abandon it. By that time I've mastered NetBSD and gave a shit about the 132x60 textmode, because X with FVWM gave me so much more virtual desktop. It also used the 1.5GB Virtual Channel Memory SDRAM without having to do anything special, like under Linux, or FBSD, which somehow ran unstable with it.
