"The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce that release 3.0 of the NetBSD operating system is now available. NetBSD 3.0 continues our long tradition with major improvements in stability, performance, networking, security, also includes support for two new platforms (iyonix and hp700), and many new peripherals. Far reaching improvements to the network stack will not only provide better performance but also make NetBSD an excellent choice for a VPN gateway. PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) framework adds more flexibility to NetBSD's user management and simplifies integration into heterogeneous networks. The kernel, libraries and utilities can now handle filesystems larger than two terabytes, and support for Xen 2.0 allows hosting many virtual servers on a single machine." Read the full changelog here, and downloads are here.

Member since:because the vendors implement a crippled version of ACPI, that works with Microsoft's implementation, that is crippled :}
so neither the vendors neither microsoft follow the standard, and open source devs only have the standard available to build the ACPI drivers
and the vendors do not release source or binary drivers to linux, netbsd, freebsd, nor any other alternative OS
and freebsd or netbsd, depends on your taste and on your needs...

I guess I don't know why.
What do you mean? Also is FreeBSD better?
