<div>NetBSD is alive and kicking, no need to spread FUD.<br />
Most of the problems mentioned by Hannum in his mail are fortunately fixed now.<br />
And about the strong leadership: NetBSD has a democratic leadership as well as FreeBSD, it may be invisible to the outsiders, but they are doing a great deal of work behind the scenes.<br />

NetBSD is a bit of a blessing for many hobbyists, as it includes support for the [[VAX]], [[Amiga]], 68k [[Mac]]s, various [[Sun Microsystems|Sun]] systems like the [[Sun-3]] as well as a wide variety of toasters and the [[HP300]]. You might want to check the entire list at the [http://netbsd.org/Ports/ NetBSD list of ports]. There's even some discussion of a port to [[PDP-10]]s!<br />
<br />
NetBSD started out as a derivative of [[386 BSD]], as at the time it was a collection of patches to 386BSD. People grew dissatisfied with the lack of updates with 386BSD, and how the patchkit kept getting larger and larger & unwieldy leading to the various authors of the patches to start their own fork of 386BSD, called NetBSD as it was created on the 'internet'. NetBSD focuses on portability and simplicity of the code.<br />
<br />
It's worth noting that a political fight within NetBSD led to the formation of [[OpenBSD]].<br />
