Better late than never:
I still run NetBSD (along with many other unixens) actively on my
four Atom-N270-powered netbooks (2 *ASUS EeePC 1000H, Samsung NC10,
Medion Akoya E1212). I just love the form factor for travelling
around. Main tasks are: software development, RTFMing til I die,
and giving presentations. I have one machine running -current and
another one running the current stable release (9-STABLE at the moment).
These systems build themselves from source.
You could put these in category (e): "still working too good to
be thrown away". I mostly just pour over man pages or source code
anyway -- a new amd64 multi-core machine wouldn't make things any
faster for me.
I use binary pkgs, not in huge numbers but I appreciate their
availablity very much. Most important for me are:
- pkgin
- tcsh
- screen (I *could* live with tmux, but nesting screen in
screen is sooo much less headachy than nesting tmux in
screen or vice versa.)
- git, tig
- lynx
- gmake, automake, autoconf
- ngrep
with X11 installations:
- cwm
- dillo
If binary pkgs didn't exist anymore, I could build all of these
myself. (I'd do that directly from upstream sources, not via
pksrc.)
Thanks for all your work!
