NetBSD 9.5 released and EOL for NetBSD-9
blog.netbsd.orgI need to get around and upgrade an old mini-tower with an AMD-586 w/512MB memory from 9.3 to 11.0, I may wait for 11.1.
What do you use that low spec machine for?
It is a backup machine for important files. Plus testing items I develop to see how they run in limited environments.
Just wondering how does that fair over a vm or container that has similar limitations?
I do not like using VMs and containers, I do like FreeBSD jails. Plus my main machine is around 12 or 13 years old, so I avoid VMs on it.
But I saw somewhere someone is working on a jail like item for NetBSD.
But isn't hauls practically the same thing as container it just depends on how you want the cgroup to expose itself?
Interesting, whats your backup process, of you mind sharing?
Cool, was just curious.
NetBSD holds record for most supported architectures. Like 50 diffrent, while Linux like maybe 20...
