NetBSD test kernel for MIPS Magnum available for download
July 24, 2000

In the neverending quest to generate the most ported operating system, 
Wayne Knowles has published a test kernel for MIPS Magnum machines. He 
writes: After several days of testing and removing some of my debugging 
printf's the kernel is now in a fairly stable condition for others to 
attempt running on their hardware. 

I would really appreciate feedback from anyone with a suitable machine as 
to how they get on. As with any early stage of a new port there may be 
differences in hardware that haven't been taken into consideration. Please 
send a copy of the kernel bootup message so we can check that it looks 
correct...

Installing NetBSD from a Linux perspective
July 18, 2000

NetBSD can be intimidating from a Linux user's perspective. However, as the 
Linux user base grows, more people are finding their needs aren't being met 
by traditional Linux distributions. NetBSD is ready to step up to fill this 
niche. While Linux and NetBSD share many characteristics, there are some 
key differences. Check out the article at BSD Today...

What is Holding BSD Back? An Open Call for Help.
August 03, 2000

I wrote this article due to frustrations I see in the strides that BSD is 
making. I would like to see more growth, but I do not have the resouces in 
both time and money to bring this to fruition, so I hope that someone out 
there agrees with my views of what needs to be done for BSD to grow, and is 
willing to help.

by Kelleye and Len Vinci 

Thinking about working a booth at a USENIX conference?
Sounds like a lot of work, and a lot of fun too! BTW,
what's with those horns?

his predictions of the future of computing, drawing on
his extensive experience in the industry. Joy began by

DN Relaunches BSD Mall
August 01, 2000

Daemon News has teamed up with Cylogistics, a BSD reseller channel, to 
create a better BSD Mall. We have also adopted phpShop as our shopping cart 
system. The mall has a new look and we are fully operational. 
We currently have CD sets available for all the major BSDs. 

Our goal here is to create a strong market for BSD goods and services. 
Through cylogistics, resellers can easily get their products into the BSD 
market. Daemon News provides the retail outlet to get products to as large 
a BSD audience as possible. 

If you are looking for BSD products, this is the place. If we don't have 
it, and it runs on BSD, let us know and we will get it. If you have a BSD 
product that you need to get into the BSD sector, let us help you get it 
out there. If you are looking to retail BSD items, Cylogistics can get them 
to you. 

This is a great opportunity to build the BSD marketshare.
