Subject: [TUHS] NetBSD turns 30
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2023 11:39:36 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZBnPuJhnwm0EpvHN@netmeister.org> (raw)

Hello,

30 years ago today on March 21st, 1993 at around
09:45:37 UTC, NetBSD was born!

I believe this makes NetBSD the oldest,
still-maintained and actively developed, free and open
source descendant of the Berkeley Software
Distribution (BSD), a true genetic Unix (albeit not
small-caps UNIX nor UNIX(tm)).

If you want to see what the source tree looked like
back then:

cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot co -D "1993-03-21 09:45:37 GMT" src

Or browse the tree at that time:
https://www.netbsd.org/~jschauma/src-1993-03-21/

Unlike me, many on this list were around at the time
and place.  Would love to hear some origin stories...

-Jan
