As seen on Slashdot:

"The NetBSD Project [1] have announced the release of NetBSD 5.0 [2] after two years of development. Highlights of the seven million new lines of code in 5.0 [3] include a new threads implementation, kernel preemption, a new scheduler, POSIX real-time scheduling, message queues and asynchronous I/O, WAPBL metadata journaling for FFS filesystems, improved ACPI support, UDF write support, X.Org instead of XFree86 (on some platforms — at last!) and lots of driver updates. Binary distributions for 53 different platforms are provided."

 

Its been a long time since I used NetBSD...must revisit the project.
