image --> + + <p><strong>Author: <a href="http://www.neologic.net/ad/">Alan Dipert</a></strong></p> +<div class="article-content">I began using free software when I bought some Mandrake 8 CDs from Wal-Mart in 2000. At that point a severe addiction to Counter-Strike, a Windows-only game, kept me dual-booting with Windows XP Professional, but that Linux partition was there to stay. I repartitioned periodically, and the sliver of Redmond on my 40GB hard drive kept getting smaller and smaller. But though Linux served me well, I recently moved to a more elegant, if less user-friendly, operating system — <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/">NetBSD</a> 1.6.2.</p> +<p>On the NetBSD Web site, you’ll find that the NetBSD team prides itself on NetBSD’s “clean design,” and with good reason. As a Slackware Linux refugee, I could appreciate the BSD rc initialization and configuration scripts. I was also happy with the relatively low amount of software that comes with a default install. I’ve had trouble in the past paring down Linux distributions to installations of software I actually require. It’s my philosophy, and apparently NetBSD’s, to start with software sets of absolutely essential programs and libraries, then let users add what they require after the system has booted on its own. Though NetBSD installs with X11 by default, the environment is sparse to say the least. There are no automatic setup or configuration scripts, graphical or otherwise. After my installation was all said and done, NetBSD consumed less than 300MB of space on my machine, including XFree86.</p> +<p>Once my system was running, it was time to crack open an Xterm and get busy with <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html">pkgsrc</a>, NetBSD’s version of the <a href="http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/12/21/Big_Scary_Daemons.html">ports</a> system. Though NetBSD’s packaging system accommodates pre-built binary packages of software that can be downloaded through the NetBSD site or mirrors, one can also choose to install the ports tree, a directory hierarchy of Makefiles organized by type of software. The process of building software and NetBSD’s system to do it is similar in principle to the Gentoo <a href="http://www.gentoo-portage.com/">Portage</a> software of the Linux realm.</p> +<p>Within a few minutes of my first boot I had installed all of the software I need for general desktop use through pkgsrc. I had <a href="http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/">Fluxbox</a>, my favorite window environment; <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/">Firefox</a>, my preferred Web browser; <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/">Thunderbird</a>, my mail client of choice; and <a href="http://gaim.sourceforge.net/">Gaim</a>, for chatting. Pkgsrc handled the installation of this software and the required dependencies flawlessly. I had installed a complete, if minimal, desktop operating system in very short order. </p> +<p> My next task was to compile a new kernel.

At that point a severe addiction to Counter-Strike, a Windows-only game, kept me dual-booting with Windows XP Professional, but that Linux partition was there to stay. I repartitioned periodically, and the sliver of Redmond on my 40GB hard drive kept getting smaller and smaller. But though Linux served me well, I recently moved to a more elegant, if less user-friendly, operating system: <a href="https://www.netbsd.org/">NetBSD</a> 1.6.2.</p> + + <p>On the NetBSD Web site, you’ll find that the NetBSD team prides itself on NetBSD’s “clean design,” and with good reason. As a Slackware Linux refugee, I could appreciate the BSD rc initialization and configuration scripts. I was also happy with the relatively low amount of software that comes with a default install. I’ve had trouble in the past paring down Linux distributions to installations of software I actually require.</p> + + <p>It’s my philosophy, and apparently NetBSD’s, to start with software sets of absolutely essential programs and libraries, then let users add what they require after the system has booted on its own. Though NetBSD installs with X11 by default, the environment is sparse to say the least. There are no automatic setup or configuration scripts, graphical or otherwise. After my installation was all said and done, NetBSD consumed less than 300MB of space on my machine, including XFree86.</p> + + <p>Once my system was running, it was time to crack open an Xterm and get busy with <a href="https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/">pkgsrc</a>, NetBSD’s version of the ports system. Though NetBSD’s packaging system accommodates pre-built binary packages of software that can be downloaded through the NetBSD site or mirrors, one can also choose to install the ports tree, a directory hierarchy of Makefiles organized by type of software.</p> + + <p>The process of building software and NetBSD’s system to do it is similar in principle to the Gentoo Portage software of the Linux realm.</p> + + <p>Within a few minutes of my first boot I had installed all of the software I need for general desktop use through pkgsrc. I had Fluxbox, my favorite window environment; Firefox, my preferred Web browser; Thunderbird, my mail client of choice; and Gaim, for chatting. Pkgsrc handled the installation of this software and the required dependencies flawlessly.</p> + + <p>I had installed a complete, if minimal, desktop operating system in very short order.</p> + + <p>My next task was to compile a new kernel. The size of the NetBSD kernel can be reduced drastically by compiling it without support for hardware you don’t have or features you don’t require.

Using adjustkernel, I took my kernel size down by several megabytes.</p> + + <p>NetBSD is a strong, consistent system. The documentation is good and constantly improving. NetBSD and most of the other BSD OSes are capable of running Linux binaries. In this way, it’s possible to run Sun’s Java executables. NetBSD is reliable, and though it lacks the security hyped by OpenBSD, it is also secure enough to run in a production, and certainly home desktop, environment, in the hands of a competent administrator.</p> + + <p>Linux converts will be both surprised and underwhelmed by the lack of software in a NetBSD installation. The overall lack of any kind of automatic configuration, beyond installation, may also shock some. However, NetBSD is worth a shot even to the uninitiated, if only on a secondary or older PC.
