“NetBSD is well-known for its portability, but since the release of NetBSD 2.0, the project has also included tons of interesting and unique features. While waiting for the upcoming 3.0, Federico Biancuzzi interviewed Roland Dowdeswell, the author of the Crypto-Graphic Disk system.”
Easy to setup and I have not heard of any security issues with it. I use it myself on a couple of i386 systems.
first i thought netbsd would just be a fallback, when freebsd was limites to x86 and linux wouldt run either…
my next is only supported by netbsd
my sun ultra 1 runs netbsd and linux
-> freebsd doenst support scsi there 🙁
-> sunos 10 doesnt support cpu there 🙁
ist just bad to mess around with nfs, because all those fine operating sytsems differ much in nfs support its realy not easy to set up stable nfs between different systems, dunno why, and i tried hard…
and its nice freebsd rund forward fast, but it left i386 behind now, only 486+…
but to come back to topic…
netbsd is not only often the only good sollution for machines not i486+, but it is light, clean and now it becomes very modern too… nice to see… 🙂
(btw: sorry for not discussing openbsd and others, but its about netbsd and my issues i had or had not with it…)
light’n’love,
