  1. BSDs by brilinux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    NetBSD is the open flavour of the free BSDs that I have not tried out. I used FreeBSD quite a bit, and liked it, and I am using OpenBSD on my webserver, primarily because it has native AFS support (I am at CMU), and it does not seem as easy to upgrade or get up to date ports as FreeBSD. I am wondering how NetBSD is. I know the guy who is trying to port AFS to NetBSD and Kernel 2.6 in Linux, and he said that they are making progress. Is there a reason, other than curiosity, to use it? (The curiosity may win in the end anyway, I go through OSes pretty fast.) It seems like an interesting concept.
