NewsForge has published an interview with several prominent NetBSD developers:
“NetBSD is widely known as the most portable operating system in the world. It currently supports 52 system architectures . . . To celebrate the release, we’ve asked several well-known NetBSD developers to comment on some of NetBSD 2.0’s new features.” Read the interview here.
An interesting interview, and it’s good to see the NetBSD guys getting some (well-deserved!) attention.
I agree. Some well deserved attention. It also dispelled some mis-conceptions I was carrying around. I thought the operating system would be “generalized”, with performance, security, and perhaps software version compromises. I thought this would be necessary to accomodate the various archetectures it runs on.
I love to be proven wrong.
Indeed ver wrong. The clean code that results in it’s portability also ensures it’s secure, and makes optimizations easy
