   #NetBSD 0.9 was my first experience using a #UNIX system. I cut my teeth installing and configuring it.

   Rebuilding the entire userland from sources took *days* on my 25 MHz #Amiga 4000 with 16MB of RAM.

   I'm glad it's still alive today!

     And the #amiga is still a supported platform in #NetBSD 10!

     What can I say? Thank you to all the developers! I will try it out next time I go to Italy, assuming my Amiga 4000 is still working.

     @kenneth @jxself People were joking that one day there would be toasters running #NetBSD.

     Today there are *billions* of appliances and tiny IoT devices running Linux.

     @codewiz "Of course it runs NetBSD" right?
