"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.

I love and use NetBSD on i386. Fine. But stop spreading this 'Oh So Portable' nonsense. Even on a widely spread architecture like macppc, NetBSD is deeply limited. I mean, only one console? Are you kidding me? Yes I know we have 'screen', but still... If they can't manage to make virtual terminals for macppc, I don't even want to see those other exotic architectures they claim to support...
On the other hand, Linux (which doesn't seem to care too much about heavy 'Oh So Portable' marketing), runs perfectly on my ibook.
What am I missing?
