Does someone run NetBSD in production? What do you use NetBSD for?
- weitzj 4y agoWe used to run it in the geophysics department of the university for workstations. Also on Jump Hosts with a weird cpu architecture, so that you could not do much with them
- xianwen 4y agoInteresting. Does the Geophysics Department use a different OS now to run the workstations?
- nix23 4y agoSDF.org ;)
- kwk1 4y agoNetBSD is used for sdf.org, the SDF Public Access UNIX System.
- efortis 4y agoFastly At least in 2017: https://twitter.com/fastly/status/934495679849881601?s=21&t=3oeBRPVIbK3TlFzjRv2G2A https://twitter.com/fastly/status/934495679849881601?s=21&t=...
- hestefisk 4y agoA few in-space satellites I believe.
- hestefisk 4y agoAlso, Apple’s AirPort wifi devices ran NetBSD.
- amerine 4y agoI know of a few small ISPs that run NetBSD on SOKRIS(sp?) machines to do routing at edge pops.
- jks 4y agoProbably Soekris. Those were nice machines but don't seem to be available any more.
- washbear 4y agoIt's "big in Japan". Used on many ISP routers there, for example Internet Initiative Japan's "SEIL" family, as well as most workstations in a few Japanese universities. pkgsrc enjoys mild popularity in the scientific computing community, a lot of NetBSD use is probably in education - Cambridge University uses it for their thin clients too.
