Welcome to NetBSD®

NetBSD is a free, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system available for many platforms, from large-scale server systems to powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices. Its clean design and advanced features make it excellent in both production and research environments. NetBSD is developed and supported by a large and vivid international community. The full system sources are freely available under a liberal licence. Many applications are easily available through pkgsrc, the NetBSD Packages Collection. » Learn more

[Binary Emulation Icon]

Binary Emulation

Thanks to binary emulation, it is possible to run many commercial applications (such as Mathematica, Matlab or Maple) that are natively available only for other operating systems. Over a dozen binary emulations are supported in NetBSD 3. These applications, and many more, are available through pkgsrc. » Learn more
