Been there, done that, wiped up the vomit. I would love to have a good
kernel (stipulating for now that my understanding is that netBSD has
such) under RISC OS's GUI & applications. However, I'm not willing to pay
the price of a completely horrible user experience in order to get the
(noticable but not huge) improvement in kernel cleanliness. It's not as if I
haven't ever tried; I think my *nix experience goes back to 82 or
thereabouts. It's just that I've never felt that it was something a human
being should be subjected to if there is any plausible alternative. Er, and
note that after getting reacquainted with windows after six years I wouldn't
consider it to be such.

Besides, despite it being a truism that security through obscurity is
no security, I have to say that being effectivly immune to viruses is
quite an advantage these days.
