My advice is just "go for it" and see if you can be happy with it. I've been ramping up my NetBSD usage, as an alternative to Linux, over the last 6-12 months or so. It's at the point now I can use them almost interchangeably for most things. But your situation won't be the same as mine, so you really have to try it out and not be discouraged by teething problems because there will be lots. As far as difficulty relative to OpenBSD, I don't know, I'd have said they were similar but YMMV.

So how do you manage your removable media on NetBSD? What filesystem do you prefer for removable media?
I use DOS vfat or whatever, but that's because I use the flash drive to download large amounts (OS and package upgrades) from the local library where Bill's OS rules the roost. Your requirements will very likely be different.
