Announcing NetBSD 1.5.3
===
The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce that release 1.5.3 of the
NetBSD
kernel, got tired of waiting. The
NetBSD kernel is fairly mature, stable and free so was an obivous choice.
However, the FreeBSD kernel is nearly as mature/stable/free as NetBSD's and
has more PC hardware support, so Debian has probably decided to go that
route.
