"The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce that release 4.0 of the NetBSD operating system is now available. NetBSD is a free, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system available for many platforms, from 64-bit Opteron machines and desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices. Its clean design and advanced features make it excellent in both production and research environments, and it is user-supported with complete source. Many applications are easily available through pkgsrc, the NetBSD Packages Collection."

Shit... the Sinclair ZX81 I repaired last week, isn't on the list of supported platforms ;-)
It's not exactly NetBSD, but there are some *NIX type systems for the Z80, like UZI: http://www.dougbraun.com/uzi.html
You'll need to add a few RAM packs to a ZX81 first though.

Wow, this seems to be a chance to have a UNIX emulator running on the GDR's U880 (Z80 clone) based computers I still have down in the cellar.
On the other hand, maybe it's possible to have some of robotron's CP/M and UNIX style OSes run on the original Sinclair ZX81...
Maybe, one day we get a NetBSD version for the EAW P8000 UNIX machine: http://ans-netz.de/P8000/ - but there's still the original UNIX OS called WEGA, a UNIX System III lookalike.

It's on the main page now, but this is often done intentionally for many OS distributions: finish a release, allow for some time so that mirror sites can grab the ISO's, and only *then* announce it widely (followed by a spike in download activity).
