WASABI SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES COMMERCIAL BOX SET OF NETBSD FOR DESKTOP COMPUTING
Over 2000 Applications for NetBSD, Including GNOME, KDE, Office Suites, Web Browsers, Development Tools and Games
January 30, 2002, NY, NY -- Wasabi Systems, Inc., the world's leading BSD company, announced today at Linux World a box set of NetBSD 1.5.2 Package Release for Desktops. The Package Release is a commercial distribution of the NetBSD operating system and application suite for desktop computing.
"In the past, NetBSD's chief barrier to entry in the desktop market has been the perceived lack of availability of applications," said Dave Damast of Wasabi Systems. "We've had many retailers call us to ask for a NetBSD package with bundled open source applications such as KDE and Gnome. This is the first step towards a long term goal of making a desktop-friendly version of NetBSD available for end users."
Retailing for $64.95, Wasabi's Package Release includes over 2000 applications for NetBSD, including GNOME, KDE, several window managers, web browsers, games, office suites, and an array of development tools.
The 5-CD boxed set contains binaries and source code for the NetBSD operating system for 20 different computer architectures, as well as nearly two gigabytes of third-party software for the x86-based PC platform, a 16-page installation guide and on-disc documentation.
