Submitted by Free OS pioneer NetBSD marks its fifteenth birthday tomorrow. The first commits were made to the NetBSD source code repository on
March 21, 1993. In addition to the robust OS it is, NetBSD code has contributed to countless other projects. Congratulations to NetBSD contributors past and present.
FreeBSD shouldn’t be far behind right?
This says it all:
I’ve said this before, but there is a tremendous glut of fantastic OSes and applications in the FOSS world — both BSD and Linux projects (and others). They compete and feed off one another, which makes for an interesting ongoing relationship.
Kudos NetBSD guys!
Keep doin’ your amazing OS!
Looking at the proposed timelines for NetBSD; I have seen the NetBSD/usermode is “pencilled” to the next 5.0 release (scheduled for Q4/2008).
That is a very nice feature that will allow having several virtual NetBSDs running on top of NetBSD on several architectures, on top of Linux, or, maybe, on top of Interix…
Really great!
:^)
Happy birthday, NetBSD!
