| | NetBSD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | NetBSD is a freely redistributable, open source version of the Unix-like BSD computer operating system. | | | fdgw - NetBSD router software contained in a floppy. | | | This allows NetBSD users to run many applications that are only distributed in binary form for other operating systems, usually with no significant loss of performance. |

| | NetBSD and Virtual PC |
| | The file netbsd/netbsd.0 is a GENERIC NetBSD 1.5 kernel with a fix applied to allow the "de" ethernet interface to be used. | | | Although NetBSD 1.3.2 almost works "out of the box" under Virtual PC, there are some issues due to the way the emulator works (eg: code caching), assumptions made by NetBSD or the way the hardware emulation differs in minor ways from real world hardware. | | | The file netbsd.1.6/netbsd.1 is a more or less GENERIC NetBSD 1.6 kernel with a fix applied to allow the "de" ethernet interface to be used. |

| | NewsForge Interview with NetBSD's Luke Mewburn |
| | NetBSD is pragmatic and understands that there are issues for hardware vendors like Atheros, such as FCC compliance when using software radios, so we'd rather work with the vendors than against them. | | | The NetBSD Project announced Monday that release 1.6.2 of the NetBSD operating system is now available, with binary distributions for 40 architectures. | | | There are some open mailing lists (bsd-api-discuss, bsd-api-announce) that were set up by Perry Metzger, a NetBSD developer, for the purpose of discussing APIs and other issues that could be shared between the various *BSD projects. |

| | There was a presentation about porting NetBSD to old hardware, and the different emulating systems that allow old software to run on new hardware, again with NetBSD as the host OS, and one about eletronic voting, using the procedure for the election of the NetBSD Board of Directors as an in-depth example. | | | NetBSD was represented at the spring meeting of the German Unix User Group. | | | The NetBSD Project will be present at Linux-Kongress 2002, the 9th International Linux System Technology Conference, held at the Physics Institutes of the University of Cologne, Germany. |

| | ONLamp.com -- Palmtop NetBSD |
| | This method requires that you already have a NetBSD machine that can physically accept the disk device you want to install onto, and that has the same sort of disklabel(8) as the Jornada, which means that you need the same endian hardware. | | | Lastly, you'll want to be certain that NetBSD runs on your system — for example, while the Jornada 720 and 728 are well-supported, the Jornada 820 isn't yet. | | | I've hesitated trying out either NetBSD or Linux because a) last time I checked there was no power management for either of them; and b) I can do all the Unix stuff I want directly in Windows CE, without having to hop on to the bleeding edge. |

| | Since NetBSD can run many Unix-like applications and is binary compatible with Linux, a wide variety of systems that might otherwise be obsolete are still breathing. | | | In keeping with the metaphor, NetBSD's claim to fame is its high portability — it will run on more than 50 hardware platforms ranging, from the Commodore Amiga to PlayStation 2 to everything in between. | | | The base installation of NetBSD with a minimal system weighs in at about 120 MB when downloaded. |

| | As the config(8) program used to create header files and Makefile for a kernel build is platform specific, we need to use the "nbconfig" program that's part of our new toolchain. | | | Using this wrapper instead of /usr/bin/make allows cross-compiling programs that were written using the NetBSD Makefile infrastructure (see src/share/mk). | | | This command has created a directory "../compile/GENERIC" with a number of header files defining information about devices to compile into the kernel, a Makefile that is setup to build all the needed files for the kernel, and link them together. |

| | The unfortunate fact is that while individual NetBSD developers may be able to put donated hardware to use, we have standard hardware packages for the TNF servers and our administrators' lives become very hard if we just add donated components to them. | | | There are many upgrades we'd like to make to the NetBSD project infrastructure, but which we cannot make because, to be blunt, our project is poor. | | | Also, we try to buy all new systems in complete form from vendors we've successfully done business with in the past. |

| | LWN: NetBSD 3.0 |
| | Surely there's plenty else for NetBSD developers to be proud of, such as UVM memory management that, with just a bit of care in coding, brings real zero-copy semantics to UNIX read() and write(), and much more cleanly and generally than sendfile(). | | | I do think that it is possible to accurately know how many systems Linux or NetBSD has been ported to because a lot of work never gets put into the mainline, regardless of license. | | | Support for many embedded systems comes in the form of an out-of-tree patch, either from a vendor's board support package or some internal branch. |
