It's probably best to wait until the event has happened and then people can watch the talk as well.<p>In the meantime, recent and related:<p><i>FOSDEM 2024 Schedule</i> - <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38694390">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38694390</a> - Dec 2023 (76 comments)
I would like to know from anyone that runs NetBSD, a simple question: why?<p>Any and all answers appreciated, but for a very long time, I've boxed NetBSD into a corner of "extreme portability" without much else to hold it as practical. FreeBSD is great for all around general purpose desktops and servers, OpenBSD is great for the network edge, and NetBSD... I guess you can run on your Dreamcast.
If - for some reason - FreeBSD would not be available - I would be running NetBSD.<p>The things I miss in NetBSD (having them on FreeBSD) are:<p>- ZFS Boot Environments with beadm(8) command.<p>- Bhyve (I hope NVMM will get to similar level)<p>- Jails - not sure NetBSD will bring any containers into the 'game' ...<p>- Probably some other things that I missed because of not not running NetBSD daily.<p>I heard WINE is not a 1st class NetBSD citizen - so that helps a lot here.<p>IMHO (with my limited NetBSD experience) seems to look bright ... and I wish NetBSD and NetBSD community all the best.
Nice! What a great distribution!<p>I'm often surprised that the corps didn't pick up the BSDs instead of linux. Given the massively more secret friendly licensing. The exception of course being apple, which forked BSD from NextSTEP.
