Because NetBSD's first priority is clean and correct code and it is often used for exactly this purpose.

Have you seen OpenBSD code? It's no less cleaner, and maybe even better in this regard.

Have you seen FreeBSD/NetBSD code? It's no less secure. :)

The last successful ubuntu upgrade I did was 10.04 (9.10 on my laptop), I think. 10.04 - 11.10 all broke (on multiple computers, in different ways) eventually requiring a liveboot and significant skill. (I'm now running arch, with significantly better results - but not perfect.) I've never had an openbsd upgrade break, even when I do it the ninja way (which I often do, being a reckless fool). Despite the longer setup…

Note that apt-get isn't a supported way to upgrade in Ubuntu. You are supposed to use "do-release-upgrade" (or "Update Manager" in the GUI).

do-release-upgrade is how I did it - but it really just does apt-get underneath.
