Thanks, that does the trick! Thanks for the fast response.
As for testing NetBSD, unfortunately NetBSD doesn't provide an official VirtualBox image.
If an unofficial image is okay with you, I've uploaded an appliance you should be able to import (File > Import) into VirtualBox:
URL:
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ivacklin/netbsd-6.0.1.ova
SHA256 sum:
d8ba5ad2412872109e1492f6799feccb695d7a39cadbcb580a7e576f9961d727 netbsd-6.0.1.ova
It is a basic installation of NetBSD 6.0.1 i386. You can log in with user 'test' and password 'test'. That user can use `sudo`. Root's password is also 'test'. You can log in via the console or SSH to the host-only interface (you can see its IP with `ifconfig`).
The method NetBSD users usually use to install GNU Parallel is from pkgsrc with `pkgin install parallel`.
Alternatively, you can install NetBSD into VirtualBox yourself with this installation image:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org//pub/NetBSD/iso/6.0.1/NetBSD-6.0.1-i386.iso
Thanks again, and please feel free to contact me if you have further questions.
