NetBSD Adopts NetBSD/xen for Internal Use

Posted by timothy on from the do-not-take-orally dept.

agent dero writes "With NetBSD 2.0, the NetBSD Foundation also released support for a new port, NetBSD/xen. A version of NetBSD meant to run on top of the Xen virtual machine monitor. In this press release the foundation has announced that it is using the port and Xen for much of its internal development, citing security, and ease of use as main reasons for its adoption."

    I'll try to be polite, and I'll assume (not that I really believe it..) that you're not trolling.

    The ancestor is pretty much a collection of facts. Where do you see the FUD exactly?

    It's true that FreeBSD can route 1Mpps on a 2.8GHz Xeon while Linux, *on the same hardware*, can't do much more than 100kpps (200kpps? 300kpps? Still quite far from 1Mpps).

    It's true that, even if Linux is the current record holder, last year NetBSD broke the Internet2 Land Speed World Record twice.

    So, where's the "Requiem for the FUD's FUD" again?
