And you can learn how to hack the NetBSD kernel just by reading the man pages . That's how good BSD documentation is. Those screen shots make me 90s in my pants. That's what a real powerhouse workstation looked like in my college years.
Are the FreeBSD sources also readable?

I wonder if that memory usage is with X running. If yes, then Im very impressed. 32MB with X is very decent result.
A lovely ride down memory lane. These IBM machines were all works of old, beautiful computing art.
And I do not mean military grade things. I mean „normal“ laptops that are tough and functional.

I wonder what would be the closest (because I do not think there is such a thing) today. And I do not mean military grade things. I mean „normal“ laptops that are tough and functional.
> In general it's safer to use a smaller root partition and a separate one for /home. However, NetBSD worked just fine off a single full-disk partition. Right until there is an update or anything and a bootloader or one of its required files gets written past the 8GB barrier, rendering your system unbootable.
To be honest, I wouldn't notice this issue at all, if it wasn't for FreeBSD which refused to boot right off the bat. It has a more advanced bootloader though, so perhaps it does some extra sanity checks.
