I'm considering initiating a campaign to influence a community space that I'm a part of into running NetBSD on some low-risk infrastructure that we may adopt.

- whalesalad 2mo agoI have been wanting to do this for a while. I have used FreeBSD and OpenBSD in server or embedded environments, but never as a desktop. And I have zero experience with NetBSD or DragonflyBSD but want to play with those too.
- tolerance 2mo agoI enjoyed the time I spent browsing the web and reading ebooks while running OpenBSD on a Thinkpad. The same goes for hosting a web page on a VPS I used to rent. I found that what people say about it is true: the documentation is great. To the extent that I needed to tinker I gained a fair amount of coherence about how things worked. This is sort of what I want the guys in my community to experience for themselves.
- bitwize 2mo agoIt's easy as balls these days to spin up a VM with the OS of your choice provided it's not terribly taxing (which NetBSD isn't). Go ahead and just try it, man! Take an evening or a weekend.
- Grimeton 2mo agoYou could just throw a squirrel carcass in a cardboard box and install netbsd on it
