NetBSD was found dead in his bathroom, adter overclocking himself once to often. Never able to keep up with his more famous brothers,netBSD freeBSD and BSD386, he locked himself in his mothers basement and hadn't been seen in years.
+ FreeBSD is used in certain hardware appliances, and some ISPs use it for shared hosting etc.
+ OpenBSD seems to be the security nerd's choice when they're setting up a really, really secure router. Or so they say.
+ NetBSD? Ummmm. I guess you can install it on some 1990s RISC hardware and brag to slashdot about it? (Except you have to go back to your x86 to run a browser.)
Seriously, after 25 years in the business I've never seen or heard about anyone using NetBSD in product

Seriously, after 25 years in the business I've never seen or heard about anyone using NetBSD in production ever. Is this a real legit OS, or is Netcraft just being lazy?
The most important area is probably providing the base for the Darwin kernel. It's good for other commercial products too as the BSD license doesn't require the source to be redistributed and thus you can better protect your intellectual property. But on the other hand, for many BSD setups, Linux would do the job just as fine. It's nice to have variety though.
Well, I was talking about BSDs in general. But on the other hand, I today saw the official Products based on NetBSD [netbsd.org] list to mention Darwin. Maybe Darwin pulls from various BSDs?
Well... (Score:5, Funny)
Given enough time, Netcraft will confirm...
