NetBSD Announces Sun Hardware Donation

Posted by timothy on from the heart-cockles-warmed dept.

Jeremy C. Reed writes "NetBSD announced that Sun donated two machines running Solaris '[i]n order to support and further the development efforts of the NetBSD Packages team, to promote the build of binary packages for Solaris 8, Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 and to enhance the support of the Sun Forte Compiler chain.' The NetBSD Package Collection can be used on many platforms beyond NetBSD to provide an easy way to consistently install third-party software and manage packages."

    If they'd just wait another year for Sun to go belly-up, they could buy all the sun hardware they'd ever dream of for the lowest prices imaginable when they auction off all the company's assets.
