One less Un*xy option for 32-bit PowerPC
- johnklos 3y agoI am so glad there's at least one OS out there (NetBSD) that isn't competing in a popularity contest and still sees the value in writing good, clean, machine independent code. On the other hand, I can see the rationale for deprecating 32 bit support and making FreeBSD a 64 bit only OS. After all, there'll always be NetBSD for smaller systems. It'd be fun to examine other metrics to gauge popularity. For instance, I bet the weight of VAXen that're running NetBSD far outweighs all of the aarch64 devices running FreeBSD, and perhaps even Linux ;)
