NetBSD The guys and girls behind the NetBSD project have released version 5.0 of their BSD operating system. NetBSD is a highly-portable operating system, the second open-source BSD implementation (after 386BSD). Naturally, version 5.0 comes packed with a whole boatload of improvements.

I've often wondered why more netbooks didn't go with something like netbsd over linux. I'd figure it would be right up their ally, netbsd has never been a heavy OS, they can get all the source code and incorporate proprietary software and drivers if they wanted to, or they could open the source for it. The choice would be totally up to them.
