NetBSD Project Calls for Donations

Posted by Hemos on from the gimme-yer-money dept.

A reader writes:"Thor Lancelot Simon from the NetBSD project recently made a post to the netbsd-advocacy mailing list, outlining the project's desperate need for monetary donations from its users and supporters to help improve NetBSD for everyone. Please read Thor's post here and think seriously about helping out this excellent open source project. Even the smallest donation counts, if enough people pitch in."

  1. What is needed is a series of benchmarks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I would love to see a series of benchmarks covering installation, time to get to useful services, as well as raw speed, or even cooked speed. For all three BSDs, no make that all the *BSDs to include Dfly and Darwin and MirBSD and etc.

    FreeBSD held the record for massive amounts of downloads, NetBSD held the record for the LandSpeedRecord, OpenBSD hasn't had a remote exploit for years and years, and recently got a fix in the IDLE loop that is supposed to make it scream even better.

    Yet no one is making a series of across the board benchmarks that make sense. Guess I'll go do it.
