Which is one reason why I have just moved over to NetBSD.
For those of us who last tried NetBSD when it required far more attention than Debian stable, can you tell us how you feel it's less attention-seeking than a Linux-based system and what's improved recently, please?

Er, one kernel, one set of packages, all dependencies sorted.
I'm very interested in this discussion, preferably without too much strong advocacy please.
I currently run Slackware which suits me well as a mostly command line driven version of Linux. I'm considering alternatives though and I wonder how the various BSDs compare. Are there any sites out there with comparisons of FreeBSD, NetBSD, maybe some Linuxes and others?
