Download NetBSD 4.0 RC1

NetBSD is a Unix-like operating system with roots in the 386BSD 0.1 branch. The first version, NetBSD 0.8, was available on April 21, 1993 and has been evolving ever since. Of the three known BSD variants FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD, the latter can be run on most platforms. The first release candidate of NetBSD 4.0 has been available for a few days, and has been working hard on new features and improved stability. The announcement from Liam J. Foy looks like this:

Hello,

On behalf of the NetBSD Release Engineering Team, it is my pleasure to announce that the first release candidate for NetBSD 4.0 has been released.

Binaries and ISOs are available from here. Please view the following link for a complete list of changes/features.

If you want to build NetBSD 4.0_RC1 from source, cvs up your source tree to “netbsd-4-0-RC1”, or just along the “netbsd-4” branch. Alternatively, you can download the source sets from the URL above, under the source/ directory.

We expect to release a second release candidate in about two weeks. Please help us test these release candidates as much as possible, to make sure NetBSD 4.0 will be a solid release.

thanks,
Liam J. Foy
