Even NetBSD?  (I never tried NetBSD.)  I probably agree with you.  What
I don't like about GNU systems is the quality of manuals.  On OpenBSD,
there's a manual for every driver in the system.  There are the manuals
called intro (for each section of the manual system).

But maybe I should really run a GNU system that can be well tuned to a
notebook such as mine.  It would be hard to say good-bye to OpenBSD, but
perhaps I should only run it on a desktop system.

By the way, I can't find a program called powermon on OpenBSD.  Perhaps
OpenBSD doesn't have it.
