  1. NetBSD 2.0 by Halfbaked+Plan · · Score: 5, Informative

    I, for one, am looking forward to the upcoming NetBSD 2.0 release. Just installed NetBSD-current on a new four-way server and it's running great with SMP. Looks like the 2.0 release is scheduled in the next several months.

    The RS/6000 that I ran NetBSD on was one of the PREP boxes. So it had a PowerPC processor, ISA and PCI slots, an S3 video chip, and used PS/2 keyboard and mouse. In all regards except for running on a PPC, it was a PC. I ran NetBSD/PREP on it. Not all RS/6000 boxes are as 'PC compatible' as that machine (a 7248 box). I now have an absolutely ancient box, one based on the Power1 processor, that I seem to be limited to running AIX on. Though I will be checking on that before long.
