OpenBSD Going SMP, NetBSD Getting There

Posted by Nik on from the NP:-All-mine dept.

Silmaril writes "OpenBSD started a CVS branch to add SMP to the kernel." Meanwhile, over on the NetBSD side of the fence, Bill Sommerfeld has committed his i386 MP spinup work. See both those links for more details.

  1. The Reason... by Ice · · Score: 3

    The reason that this post doesn't appear on the main Slashdot page is that Slashdot is a little slanted. Those of you that are reading this have probably figured this out by now, but I'll say it anyways, for those still not in "the know". Slashdot readers are predominantly Linux users that have a lot in common with Mac users; they are very loyal and have extremely closed minds (especially when it comes to using different operating systems). I first found the BSDs about 9 months ago when I got extremely frustrated installing Mandrake Linux (probably one of the easiest to install) and figured, "There's got to be an easier way!!!" Well, I was right. Unfortunately, most Slashdotters (who are loyal to Linux) don't understand that there is anything better out there and us BSDers take a lot of @#$% for that. Oh well, we all know who's running the superior OS!!! =)
