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."

    What you may have failed to notice while reading the Sys Admin test is that they did a stock installation without recompilation of all OS's, which means FreeBSD will run on its unoptimized kernel while, for example, RedHat has a i686 optimized kernel in the default install. This would account for a lot of the difference in performance, especially when it comes to networking.
