New NetBSD/amd64 Snapshot

Posted by timothy on from the runs-everywhere dept.

fvdl writes "As the number of AMD64 users grows, new snapshots of NetBSD/amd64 will be made available on a regular basis, until the next NetBSD release (2.0) is out. NetBSD/amd64 is almost two years old by now, but did not have a formal release yet, since hardware was not publicly available at the time of the last major NetBSD release. The latest snapshot is available at ftp.netbsd.org. It is a fully-featured NetBSD port, made available in the form of a bootable ISO image."

  1. Why? by Orthanc_duo · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Why do they need a port for AMD.. AMD chips still run the x86 command set don't they??
    or has it just been optimised for AMD processors?
