Welcome to The NetBSD® Project ``Of course it runs NetBSD.''

NetBSD is a free, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system available for many platforms, from 64-bit Opteron machines and desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices. Its clean design and advanced features make it excellent in both production and research environments, and it is user-supported with complete source. Many applications are easily available through pkgsrc, the NetBSD Packages Collection.

Get NetBSD 3 today! With many new features, the most portable operating system on the planet just got even better.

New in NetBSD 3: native support for the Xen virtual machine monitor! With native Xen support on Intel platforms, NetBSD provides seamless support for execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation.

Thanks to binary emulation in NetBSD, it is possible to run many commercial applications that are not available for NetBSD natively (such as Mathematica, Matlab or Maple). Over a dozen binary emulations are supported in NetBSD 3. These applications, and many more, are available through the NetBSD Package Collection, pkgsrc.

The NetBSD Operating System is the most portable OS in the world, and many of the supported hardware platforms are suited for embedded applications.
