Donated. I hope NetBSD becomes a stronger option for my old PCs. So many good old machines that could benefit from it.

Same here. But one other thing to add for new responses about "Why NetBSD", the rump kernel.

Years ago I had to get a very old document off of a DOS diskette. So I tried:

* On Linux: accessing the diskette would cause a panic or a reboot or massive read failures.

* FreeBSD: panics all the time

* NetBSD: panics. But then I remembered it had rump. So I said, why not try that. Started up rump, got a few code dumps, but after a some tries I got a bit over 90% of the document off of the diskette. The main system had no issues with the rump kernel crashing.

So that alone is worth the "price of admission" :)

FYI rump is essentially unmaintained since its author left NetBSD years ago

Wow this is cool. I always get fascinated by how people have used NetBSD.

Linux can do that with User Mode Linux.

Thanks a lot for donations:)

Thank -you- for all you do! Donated.

NetBSD has been a labor of love for a long, long time.

In the mid-90's I was a teenager with a 486-25 on a desk in a closet running NetBSD 0.9-1.0, connected to 10base2 going to my dad's office where there was a computer that dual booted to Linux. I learned so much from those systems; systems programming, how to really use the C programming language, sysadmin skills, reading network traces. A whole part of who I am today derives from those early experiences trying to figure out what the $## was going on while tracking -CURRENT.
