Welcome to NetBSD®

NetBSD is a free, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system available for many platforms, from large-scale server systems to powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices. Its clean design and advanced features make it excellent in both production and research environments, and the source code is freely available under a business-friendly license. NetBSD is developed and supported by a large and vivid international community. Many applications are easily available through pkgsrc, the NetBSD Packages Collection. » Learn more

Results of the Fundraising Campaign 2007

NetBSD depends on funding for its operation. A generous donation has enabled us to fund development in the area of Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP), and a fundraising drive was started to extend this activity. The goal of $50,000US was met thanks to a lot of support from companies, users, and our community as a whole. Numerous donations from all over the world have reached us, and we owe great gratitude to our donors.

With the great results of NetBSD's 2007 fundraising campaign, we have several options for future work in NetBSD. Besides the usual costs for hardware, hosting and legal fees, we intend to continue and increase funded development. Areas where such work can be expected include SMP, hardware RAID drivers and power management.
