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."

    NetBSD prides themselves on their clean code working on over 50 archs i beleive. 30 something considered stable. Adding a port to a new arch hasnt fragmented NetBSD thusfar, I see no reason why this one would.

    This is for the K8/Sledgehammer/Opteron architecture - NetBSD runs in full 64-bit mode on it.
