Another question along the line of having more recent packages in OpenBSD.
The new NetBSD pkgsrc, which I understand can be bootstrap'd to OpenBSD is available.

I'm thinking about doing a core OpenBSD install on a ViaC3 machine (NetBSD is difficult to install on this particular cpu) and then trying the new NetBSD pkgsrc. My initial thought is I should use the version of Xorg that comes with pkgsrc in my quest for a lightweight desktop. FreeBSD gives me an interupt storms with my atheros and ralink wireless cards otherwise it would probably be the best choice

My question is if this is a realistic way to go? Is it more a gleam in the pkgsrc developers eye or does it really work in practice?
