That is exactly what I do. I take a USB stick with a copy of NetBSD installed on it into the store and boot it up. Then I simply run startx and watch the action from there. BTW, if there is work to be done with C or shell script to help with any kind of test suite + website idea like this in the future, then I'd be willing to help out a bit. The same goes for hardware. PCIe-wise I have @20 discrete Radeon and 6 Nvidia graphics cards. Most of them work, but some don't. I'd be willing to test them directly or mail them to folks who want to help. There are only 1 or 2 I'd care to get back. Thanks, Swift
