For the first two-three years I doesn't use any X window manager instead normal console work was done by me, programming in shell/C, do irc botnet mange work, and some BSD research, and games
I ported the classic chess game from the Unix v.6 [these game also appears in various BSD distributions like 2.11/Reno/etc.] to my NetBSD box.
In fact If you go to /usr/games directory you will find many classic positions like:
wargames or quiz.

Today I still run NetBSD.
Great OS. With real solid documentation; for instance: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/kernel/
You are the kind of user that any of BSDs project could use more off. BSDs crave for users like you and do not need any of Linux is better than Windows crowd.
