"The NetBSD Foundation announces that it has hired Andrew Doran to work full-time on improving symmetrical multi-processing in NetBSD. This work is made possible through a generous donation by Force10 Networks and internal funding by The NetBSD Foundation. Andrew Doran is an independent, Dublin based Unix systems consultant with special interest in building scalable systems. He has been a NetBSD developer since 1999 and is currently working on the transition from a big-lock SMP implementation to a fine-grained model, which allows multiple CPUs to execute code in kernel context simultaneously. Hiring Andrew full-time will boost work in this area, with the final result of a SMP implementation that is ready for tomorrow's multi-core-CPUs."

"netbsd will be around and developed for soem time. there are lots and lots of cmercial companies that use it due to its scalibility. i wouldnt worry about its long term existance. and either way any effort going into and of teh bds's will end up benefiting all the bsd's if the others choose to adopt it."
But does it have a spell checker?
