NetBSD Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary

jschauma writes "This week marks the tenth anniversary of the beginning of development of the NetBSD Operating System. The very first commit to the NetBSD source tree (src/Makefile) was by Chris Demetriou on Friday 21 March, 1993. Parties are being held in various cities around the world, see the press release for more details. Happy 10th Birthday, NetBSD!"

To celebrate...

...Everybody port it to a new platform!

I think I'll port it to my turntable.

My toaster STILL can't run NetBSD. They need to hurry up the development of it.

Also, my coffee machine, microwave, and toaster oven all could use a little NetBSD loving.

Generally running NetBSD requieres a prosessor
which has MMU. This is needed for its
multiprocessing and security cababilities.
I don't think your toaster has a enough
advanced CPU to run NetBSD. But you can try
put the boot floppies in your toaster and
see what happens. It could well be one
of the supported platforms.

Are they girls at these parties?

What kind of parties are these? I can imagnin hoards and hoards of nerds wearing t-shirt and denim shorts drinking Mountain Dew, all talking about computers.

Re:Another birthday?

[RLiegh]

Look up trivia and then flame each other on /.?
In otherwords: SOP?

Parties?

[xchino]

Parties are being held in various cities around the world...

I don't think 10 guys doing a shot together over IRC counts as "parties in various cities",

That study is off-topic, it doesn't even mention BSD. Here there are also objective comparisons between Linux and BSD that you should consider before setting up your next server.
