The NetBSD item
| 
Sep 16 19:09 UTC 2006 |
The NetBSD operating system is a derived from the 4.4BSD-Lite2 distribution
of Berkeley Unix, free of AT&T copyrighted code. It is a complete,
self-contained system that runs on numerous architectures and is mostly
targeted towards portability and experimentation. If you have a piece of
hardware, there's a good chance that NetBSD will run on it.
More information on it can be found at:

Here's an interesting article by one of the NetBSD founders about why
the NetBSD project has effectively stalled. There's some interesting
insights here into why other projects that copied the NetBSD
organizational model, such as FreeBSD and X.org, also stalled and
eventually forked.

That should say 'such as FreeBSD and XFree86.' X.org was the project
that forked off after XFree86 stalled.

Yeah, that one is a bit of a mystery, too..... I guess I can kind of see it,
in a way.
