I'm new to the *bsds, but my research into making a firewall/dmz/access 
point and more sort of hardware has inevitably led to *bsd projects. 
I've heard of the security of netbsd and of course that it runs on just 
about everything, so my interest was peaked, but I haven't been able to 
find a great deal of information that's been helpful. To sum it up, I'd 
be interested in hearing about
	-cross compiling and porting from x86 to other platforms
	-how netbsd compares to other options for embedded systems in terms of 
system size & requirements, performance and security, particularly as it 
relates to network related equipment
