Proper old-school Unix, not like those lazy, decadent Linux types
NetBSD 10 marks a new level of maturity for this venerable open source Unix system, which somehow manages to be both modern and retro at the same time., NetBSD 10.0 is the 71st release of the NetBSD operating system.
NetBSD is the oldest of the BSD projects, and in some ways sticks closest to the original. It supports aThis is NetBSD's term for the different types of computer it can run on: eight"tier 1" first-class supported platforms, plus another 47, which are also at version 10. One of the project's mottos is"Ofit runs NetBSD!" and that's fair – there's no other OS in the world that runs on so many different architectures and platforms.
As a bonus we got support for the Nintendo Wii added to theHis take on the inter-BSD comparison surprised us. When we suggested that one comparison was wider hardware support than FreeBSD but comparable to OpenBSD, he said: NetBSD happily created a partition for itself in the resultant gap, although it insisted on asking us about cylinders, heads, and tracks, none of which our SSD possesses. The installer created its own sub-partitions in its new primary partition, and installed itself into those.
NetBSD 10 is a fascinating contrast with modern Linux. It works well. For instance, our Thinkpad's sound chip and ATI GPU were detected, and thedriver was installed automatically. Some of the rough edges we saw in 2022, such as cursor keys and packaging tools, seem to have been smoothed out. The package selection in OpenBSD is noticeably more rigorous, but there's a price to pay for being so selective. For instance,, while OpenBSD doesn't. We suspect that many people would consider that an acceptable price for seeing some possibly extraneous stuff in package dependencies. NetBSD also offersThere are various reasons to try NetBSD.
