New York, NY — (press release excerpt) — NetBSD 1.6 is today being made available on a new CDROM distribution from Wasabi Systems. The new release improves the performance and stability of applications, file-systems and networking; adds support for eleven new platforms and many new devices; incorporates various security enhancements; and updates many third-party programs. The release contains a full binary release (rather than source-only) for thirty-nine different platforms, over double that of the previous release, and many significant new features.

Wasabi's NetBSD 1.6 CDROM releases include a four-CD “Standard” release with full binaries for thirty-nine platforms, and the six-CD “Deluxe” release, which includes over 3000 popular applications for the OS, including the Apache webserver, desktops from KDE and GNOME, and the OpenOffice productivity suite.
