NetBSD is een Unix-achtig besturingssysteem met zijn wortels in de 386BSD 0.1-tak. De eerste versie, NetBSD 0.8, was beschikbaar op 21 april 1993 en heeft zich sindsdien steeds verder ontwikkeld. Van de drie bekende BSD-varianten, FreeBSD, OpenBSD en NetBSD, ondersteunt de laatste de meeste verschillende platformen. De zesde release candidate van versie 3.0 is met de volgende aankondiging uitgebracht:
Hello,
on behalf of the NetBSD Release Engineering team, I'm happy to announce the availability of NetBSD 3.0 RC6 for testing.
NetBSD 3.0 RC6 (including ISO images) is available in the "daily builds" section of your local FTP mirror (in the /pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3-0-RC6 directory on most mirrors), and we encourage you to test it out and report any bugs using send-pr(1).
We expect that this will be the final release candidate for NetBSD 3.0, barring any major issues or security problems.
Here is a brief summary of changes from NetBSD 3.0_RC5 to 3.0_RC6:Kind regards,
- fix problems with USB keyboards on newer amd64 and i386 sytems
- added support for Intel ICH7 and 6300ESB to auich(4)
- updated timezone data to "2005o"
- fixed shared library problem under NetBSD-hp700
- correct path of IPv6 utilities on installation medias
- various documentation corrections
