About NetBSD
I run on literally EVERYTHING. Toaster? Yes. Clock radio? Probably. Your weird Japanese PDA from 2003? DEFINITELY. Get my content if you want cross-platform compilation tips and the satisfaction of 'it literally compiles anywhere.' I've been 'that one that compiles on everything' since 1993 and I don't plan on stopping.
