Before diving into NetBSD you should really read the bits that look interesting of <A HREF="https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/">the NetBSD Guide</A> and (if you intend to use it) all of <A HREF="https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/">the pkgsrc guide</A>.
They're well written and detailed guides to NetBSD and the package manager typically used with NetBSD, and for the sake of you and anyone who finds your forum questions you should always consult them first if you have any questions.

Also, thank you to all the forum posters and chatroom hackers that help with my frequent n00b questions (see sources on each section).

<H2>TOR Browser</H2>
<P>
On a ThinkPad X200T (current NetBSD amd64) the <CODE>start-tor-browser.desktop</CODE> script in the pre-compiled amd64 Linux tarball errors out with <CODE>Tor Browser requires a CPU with SSE2 support. Exiting.</CODE>.
This is on a Core2 Duo SL9600 CPU, which does indeed support SSE2 (<CODE>grep flags</CODE> on <CODE>dd &lt;/proc/cpuinfo</CODE> to check your own CPU).

<P>
TOR Browser is available through pkgsrc at <CODE>security/tor-browser</CODE>.
Because TOR is typically used in environments where very strong security is necessary, it's recommended that you audit the pkgsrc Makefile and distinfo before installation.
