Comment Portability makes NetBSD different (Score 0) 51
NetBSD specializes on portability. This means that all the software in the base system is as hardware independent as possible. It also means that NetBSD is as lightweight as possible -- such an operating system is easy to carry around.
It is the emphasis on portability that makes NetBSD an exciting Operating System -- NetBSD is compact, stable, cleanly designed and secure. Also the performance is excellent, NetBSD feels quite snappy on my laptop and especially networking is REALLY fast (hey, it isn't called NETbsd for nothing). ;-)
