i was just being an ass, however, i've spent a lot of time and effort over the
last 10 years to build myself into a position where i don't have to work with
PC hardware if i don't want to. so i don't. but in the rare instances where
i do have to run it, i choose FreeBSD. although i've run NetBSD on PC and had
no trouble also. but it's so rare, i honestly can't judge the difference
between them. they both run well.
