I think you have made changes from the default installation. But you aren't considering them to be changes.
- You've answered questions during installation. For example, you answered questions about SSH and then asked here how to find out what you answered.
- You've installed packages. You've installed XFCE, Nano, and other applications.
Q:Can an "unsafe" answer be given during the install process?
A: Yes. For example, the install script will permit "unsafe" SSH provisioning to be used. This can simplify remote installation procedures. The astute admin will recognize this and revise the configuration after installation steps have been completed.
Q: Does installing a package add risk?
A: Yes. How much risk depends entirely on what packages are installed and how they are provisioned and used.
Q: Can I do something that adds risk without being aware of it?
A: Of course.
Q: How can I get better at recognizing risks?
A: Take a security class. Read books on computer security. Learn what your applications (and their dependencies) do, and how they do it.

I didnt understand this one.

NetBSD runs on a very large set of hardware architectures. It used to be said that NetBSD would run on everything except a toaster.
It can't be said anymore.
