NetBSD and My Life (2005)

Gary Rolland, a UK network administrator, reports that his team runs 29 high-end servers on NetBSD 2.0.2, handling MySQL, Apache, Postfix and Samba for over 4,800 users, pushing roughly 870 GB of data and 1,200 emails daily, with peak HTTP traffic of 35 requests per minute. He contrasts this stability with a previous Windows-based infrastructure that caused frequent outages and personal disruptions.
