    They decided long ago to call the first version with decent SMP support (on i386) version 2.0. So here it is :-) (almost...).

    I tend to agree, but Slashdot posted a series of articles about Linux kernel 2.5.n and FreeBSD 5.3-BETAn, so I guess beta OS releases are deemed newsworthy here.

    As far as I know, Debian GNU/Linux is the only Linux distribution which supports comparable number of platforms with NetBSD. Note that if you mix multiple linux distributions, you cannot have uniform operation among the platforms.

    And it seems next Debian release (sarge) lacks amd64, sh3 and vax. NetBSD have all of those.
