: I am pleased to announce the availability of release 1.0 of the NetBSD
: operating system, a freely available and redistributable BSD system
: that runs on a variety of hardware platforms.  NetBSD 1.0 is based on
: 4.4BSD Lite and Berkeley Networking Release 2 sources.  It includes
: support for shared libraries on most architectures, the enhanced
: Berkeley Fast File System (which supports 64-bit file sizes and
: clustering), rock-solid networking code, and a fair amount of binary
: compatibility with other operating systems.  A list of significant
: changes since the last release is present in the "CHANGES" file in the
: distribution.  The list is far too long to include here.

: Release 1.0 of the NetBSD operating system is distributed with complete
: source code and is available from the distribution sites listed
: at the bottom of this message.  At this time, binary releases for the
: following architectures are available:
: 	Amigas
: 	i386-family PCs
: 	some m68k-based Macintoshes
: 	PC532
: 	SPARCstation (sun4c) -class machines

: In addition, a binary release is expected, but not yet ready, for the
: HP9000/300 family of workstations.  Though the NetBSD 1.0 source tree
: includes support for DECstations, some Sun 3 models, and some VAXen,
: those ports are not far enough along to merit a complete binary
: distribution.

: Within the next few days, installation and release notes for each of
: the ports mentioned above will be posted to the appropriate mailing
: lists and/or newsgroups for those ports.  If those notes don't answer
: any questions you might have about NetBSD, you should probably
: subscribe to one of more of the NetBSD mailing lists, and ask there.
: For information on what lists are available and how to subscribe,
: mail majordomo@NetBSD.ORG with an empty message body.

: Enjoy!
