With its wide range of supported hardware platforms, NetBSD runs well on
many embedded systems, including ARM, XScale, MIPS and PowerPC CPUs.
The image shows a (real) toaster that was modified to include a TS-7200
board equipped with an ARM cpu to control the toaster's heating coil,
toasting time, and to also play MP3s and run Apache all at the same
time. Click here for
information on
and
pictures of
the NetBSD Toaster!

The screenshot shows a Xen "domain0"
virtual machine, with four other virtual machines started (see
domain overview in the lower right corner): on the left side are
two domains running NetBSD, with two xterms showing the console of
the VMs, and VNC clients used to access the Xvnc servers running
in those VMs, providing a GUI to them. A similar setup is shown
on the upper right corner, which has booted Debian Linux, both with
console in xterm and a VNC client to access the Xvnc server, too.
The last VM runs FreeBSD as console only, with no X(vnc) started.

Still not slick enough? How about running the
windowmaker window manager with the FreeBSD Theme and
a transparent wterm? Other applications shown here are
xchat and the WindowMaker config utility.

WaveLAN Image Sniffing is possible with NetBSD and
driftnet.
This image shows a notebook running NetBSD 1.6.2 with a Lucent WLAN card
running driftnet to capture wireless traffic, analyze it and display any
graphical content, from HTTP and other protocols. In addition, driftnet
can also find mp3 audio streams and play them if wanted. General WaveLAN
traffic statistics are displayed in the white-on-black window on the right
side of the screen using
slurm.

The machine running this
XFCE desktop
has three video cards (Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 SE AGP,
Matrox MGA G400 PCI and a 3Dfx Interactive Banshee PCI) each running
at 1600x1200@75Hz with 24bit on one CRT.
The cards are automatically detected and configured by xf86cfg,
they are combined into one single 4800x1200 virtual desktop with
option "xinerama" in /etc/X11/XF86Config.
Besides many applications, a listing of the machine's PCI cards showing the three graphics cards and the configuration relevant for Xinerama from /etc/X11/XF86Config can be seen on the right side of the desktop, Images contributed by Stefan Schumacher <stefan at net-tex dot de> |

Got a laptop or notebook machine? NetBSD supports it, no matter if
it's Intel,
Sparc or a Mac! This KDE panel
shows (from left to right) klavg displaying the
machine's load average, kapm showing the machine's
battery state (queried via APM), and the
modem activity indicator that kppp (part of the kdenetwork3
package) brought to the panel to remain connected
while still being mobile. And a clock. :)

The item of interest in this picture is the horizontal grey box in the
middle of the hi-fi cabinet. It's a diskless MP3 jukebox,
running NetBSD/shark. The Shark is
completely silent due to having neither disk drives (it NFS mounts its
file-systems, including '/') nor fans (as it is based on the StrongARM
processor, it generates negligable heat). The machine uses one of the
S-video inputs on the TV for display purposes, and an infrared
keyboard/mouse for input purposes. The Shark's audio output is of
sufficiently high quality that it takes a discerning ear to tell the
difference between the original CD and MP3 recording on this setup.

This screenshot shows some production-grade office applications
running under NetBSD. The desktop environment is GNOME
along with the windowmaker window manager. In the top
left section of the screen you can see the GIMP image
manipulation program. The displayed picture has been scanned using
the XSane scanner front end displayed below. In the
top right section of the screen lies tgif, a
technical drawing program. Below that, there is the desktop window of
the StarOffice office suite, and on the bottom left section you can
find the gnumeric spread sheet displaying a table and a
print preview.

These three screenshots are of fxtv (TV program based on the

wmcalclock in the upper left corner and gqmpeg
with the shiny blue skin in the lower right corner. The motor cycle
partially displayed in the back is a Honda Hornet.

This screenshot shows WordPerfect 8 for Linux running under the NetBSD Linux
emulation. WordPerfect 8 is still freely available, have a look at
this

NetBSD is an excellent environment for running productivity applications. For
example, this screenshot shows
MoneyDance,
a personal finance manager written in Java, running on NetBSD. It works with
little effort using the included Linux Java runtime environment. The
sun-jre14 package contains a short note with
prerequisites
that also apply to this runtime environment.

The latest Java Runtime Environment 1.5 is available for NetBSD-current
through binary emulation. This example shows the XML Editor
XMLmind SE 2.8 (XXE2) running
on NetBSD/i386 2.99.10 with the JRE 1.5
provided by the package
lang/sun-jre15.
XMLmind is a validating XML editor featuring a word processor-like view.
On the screenshot you can see a completely localized environment for XML
DocBook documentation processing. The same document is opened in the vi
editor and in XXE2.
The Mozilla browser displays the generated HTML document, containing draft
guidelines for the translation of NetBSD documentation to the Russian
language. The source document uses KOI8-R encoding and the HTML page uses
UTF-8.

Thanks to binary emulation in
NetBSD, it is possible to run many commercial applications that are not
available for NetBSD natively, such as Mathematica, Matlab or Maple. The installation usually just
requires you to add 'NetBSD' to the startup scripts as a supported platform.

Thanks to Todd Vierling, NetBSD can now run CrossOver Office as well! This is
a screenshot of a rather plain KDE3 desktop with
OfficeSetup, Windows Media Player (idle), IE (viewing Windows Update, of
all things 8-), and ClrMamePro (a retrocomputing file manager).

Using CrossOver Office on NetBSD it
is also possible to run Microsoft applications, like Microsoft Word.

Some of the most popular Windows games run flawlessly
on NetBSD. Here is one such game, Baldurs Gate, running
under the wine emulator. The amazing thing
about it is that the game runs more smoothly and faster
than under Windows itself!

In today's business world, applications from
multiple environments need to coexist. Using NetBSD's wealth of
networking facilities and advanced remote access
capabilities, this works fine, as these images show.
The first one shows graphs from CA/Platinum DBVision running on the DEC UNIX machine with output displayed locally on a NetBSD/i386 machine. Below that to the left is an SAP R/3 GUI running on a different DEC box showing a database analysis screen, to the right of that is a vnc session running on NetBSD controlling a NT workstation. The second screenshot adds a CA/Platinum ServerVision realtime load average of another UNIX machine. Images contributed by James Spath <James.Spath@bdk.com>

Digital cameras get increasing popular, and there are several
applications available in the NetBSD Packages Collection that
can be used to transfer the images from the camera to the
computer, and post-process them. Like here with an Epson PC650
digi-cam with gphoto used to access the images
stored on the camera.

Sometimes you may have to run an application for a certain OS from Redmond.
Fortunately, you can do that without shutting down NetBSD by running
VMware
Express on NetBSD/i386 in Linux-emulation mode.
