NetBSD at Hiroshima Open Source Conference

  • NetBSD developers are hard at work, putting NetBSD on everything they can find
  • At a technology conference in Hiroshima, some developers brought their exotic machines to put on display
  • As usual, there are lots of pictures and a nice report from the conference ***

FreeBSD's Linux emulation overhaul

  • For a long time, FreeBSD's emulation layer has been based on an ancient Fedora 10 system
  • If you've ever needed to install Adobe Flash on BSD, you'll be stuck with all this extra junk
  • With some recent work, that's been replaced with a recent CentOS release
  • This opens up the door for newer versions of Skype to run on FreeBSD, and maybe even Steam someday ***

pfSense 2.2-BETA

  • Big changes are coming in pfSense land, with their upcoming 2.2 release
  • We talked to the developer a while back about future plans, and now they're finally out there
  • The 2.2 branch will be based on FreeBSD 10-STABLE (instead of 8.3) and include lots of performance fixes
  • It also includes some security updates, lots of package changes and updates and much more
  • You can check the full list of changes on their wiki ***

NetBSD on the Raspberry Pi

  • This article shows how you can install NetBSD on the ever-so-popular Raspberry Pi
  • As of right now, you'll need to use a -CURRENT snapshot to do it
  • It also shows how to grow the filesystem to fill up an SD card, some pkgsrc basics and how to get some initial things set up
  • Can anyone find something that you can't install NetBSD on? ***
