Posted by CowboyNeal on from the unix-on-a-microwave dept.

Quique writes "NetBSD 2.0 is the tenth major release of the NetBSD Operating System, and has just been released. It can be downloaded from one of the mirror sites. NetBSD is widely known as the most portable operating system in the world. It currently supports fifty four different system architectures, all from a single source tree, and is always being ported to more. NetBSD 2.0 continues the long tradition with major improvements in file system and memory management performance, major security enhancements, and support for many new platforms and peripherals." The release announcement is also available.

    It's sort of ironic that a story about a dead operating system was submitted by someone with whose user name comes from a dead language...

    Don't you think?

    Oh come on people. We all know that BSD is dead. This article is a complete lie. It just has to be!

    The fact that NetBSD 2.0 still relies on One Big Kernel Lock for SMP systems is proof that NetBSD still don't care about scalability.

    You know, the BSD is dead fud is childish and counterproductive and retarded...

    But they're a direct consequence of BSDer FUD about BSD being more scalable/secure/stable/better network stack/better engineered/faster/etc.

    It got to the point where the BSD guys were disputing even plain direct, apples to apples numbers (oh, that doesn't measure REAL performance/when the system is under load/etc).

    Indeed.. Another example of immaculate honesty from a GNU/Linux advocate. :(

    And a couple of shining examples of BSD zealots quietly changing the subject rather than face the facts. :(

    No, the subject was your head being stuck in the sand. I see it is still there.

    But, let's make it clear, this takes nothing away from the lack of ethics of the GNU/Linux advocates.
    The proof is all the FUD spread on this very board.

    Err, nice definition of "proof". I see you must have got it from the FreeBSD zealot's handbook.

    Hey everyone, this moron wants to prove something by citing slashdot comments!! BWWwwaaaa haaaa haaa ha.

    Moron.
