Why use NetBSD?
NetBSD aims to provide a freely redistributable operating system that professionals, hobbyists, and researchers can use in any manner they wish. The main focus is portability, through the use of clear distinctions between machine-dependent and machine-independent code.
Why does BSD exist?
The BSD license allows its developers the choice to remain greedy and tight-lipped on kernel and system modifications, meaning that even if something is made, the general public may not even have a clue to its existence. BSD systems have acquired a better reputation for reliability than its Linux counterpart.

What kind of operating system is NetBSD based on?
NetBSD is a free and open-source Unix-like operating system based on the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), a Research Unix derivative developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It was the first open-source BSD descendant officially released after 386BSD was forked.
How is the portability of NetBSD a feature?
NetBSD’s portability is aided by the use of hardware abstraction layer interfaces for low-level hardware access such as bus input/output or DMA. Using this portability layer, device drivers can be split into “machine-independent” and “machine-dependent” components.
Which is the best cross compiling framework for NetBSD?
The NetBSD cross-compiling framework (also known as “build.sh”) lets a developer build a complete NetBSD system for an architecture from a more powerful system of different architecture ( cross-compiling ), including on a different operating system (the framework supports most POSIX -compliant systems).
Why was NetBSD used in the International Space Station?
NetBSD was used in NASA’s SAMS-II Project of measuring the microgravity environment on the International Space Station, and for investigations of TCP for use in satellite networks. In 2004, SUNET used NetBSD to set the Internet2 Land Speed Record. NetBSD was chosen “due to the scalability of the TCP code”.
