A Lua interpreter in the NetBSD kernel

Re:A Lua interpreter in the NetBSD kernel by rwboyer on Sunday January 15, 2012 @06:05PM (#3468548)

I wish the resources were thrown at something a little more USEFUL in NetBSD as there are so few to go around. Maybe like ZFS or BTRFS support...

I LOVE the BSD's especially NetBSD - what else can make some of my old sentimentally attached hardware work so well.

I think I might be the only one running NetBSD as a DOM-0.

It's a volunteer organisation and folk are going to volunteer for what interests them, regardless of the stipend.

Yea - I know - just wishful thinking by a user/very occasional contributor to the bad minorities.

I know what you mean. I was running NetBSD on an iMac G4 (the sunflower one) for years and it was great (then the macppc NVidia broke for several months so I switched to OpenBSD).

I use it as a photo server sitting on my bookcase.

Without wishing to get into a flame war, once you try a BSD, the Linux stuff feels a little...raw.
