刚刚装了个NetBSD1.6

你们有点太教条了吧？ @_@

我用过NetBSD的，就是在本本上，死活安不上FBSD的X，因为SiS芯片的问题。后来还是NetBSD牛，连安装都不用，一张光盘就搞掂，别说X稳稳当当就起来了，连Gimp都在上面可用了的说。所..........

OpenBSD整个就是NetBSD fork出来的呀，第一版的OpenBSD其实就是NetBSD 1.1。Theo Der Rat当年是在NetBSD core team里的。

“In 1994—95, Theo de Raadt, who had contributed to NetBSD, had an argument with some of the NetBSD core team. Not all the details are public. I became aware of this when Theo posted a message to one of the NetBSD lists claiming that his messages were being censored, and so he had put up a Web page to publish his complaints. I followed the link to the page, and I was convinced quickly (in large part by Theo's tone) that Theo was in the wrong.

Theo took the current release, NetBSD 1.1, and relabeled it OpenBSD. Theo has since then worked to raise the visibility of OpenBSD, focusing on security. (Part of his argument with the NetBSD core team was over the lack of speed with which his changes were integrated into the code.)

Theo calls NetBSD an "academic research platform" — that is, not worth considering for production systems. My usual response is to ask, "If NetBSD is just an academic research platform, why was OpenBSD completely based on it?"

I mention this because in your article you said you were told by your anonymous informant that "The NetBSD group . . . is more interested in experimentation than in having a rock-stable version of BSD." That sounds like a small twist on the "academic research" line that OpenBSD tries to sell. ”
