Debian NetBSD

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-something-different dept.

bXTr writes "Interesting project over at SourceForge. Quoting from the website, 'Debian NetBSD is a port of the Debian Operating System to the NetBSD kernel. It is currently in an early stage of development and cannot currently be installed from scratch. Instead, a tarball of the current envionment is available and can be extracted into a handy directory on a NetBSD system.' Check out the reasons why they're doing it and some interesting commentary at DailyDaemonNews on this."

    At least Enron isn't the only group of people jumping off of sinking ships! About time Debian started moving to an operating system that doesn't have VM problems every other release. Go ahead! Mod this one down!

    NetBSD is under a BSD license. Taking it and putting it under the GPL is no worst then a corporation taking it and making it closed source.

    Plus, it should be interesting how it turns out.

    Slashdot is abusing its unlimited mod points to keep censoring this post!

    This might be offtopic, but it is important to do something about it!
