#40daysofnetbsd

Day 18 Upon login on the first console, I configured ~/.profile to auto-start an X session. Upon exit, the user is logged out of the console: if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ "$(tty)" = "/dev/constty" ]; then exec startx > "$HOME/.xlog" 2>&1 fi #X11 #40DaysOfNetBSD #NetBSD #RunBSD

Day 6 Getting acquainted with the 'vi' editor, which on NetBSD is the 'nvi' version. I created a '~/.exrc' file with a few options for more comfortable use: $ cat .exrc set showmode ruler set number set searchincr iclower set tabstop=4 set shiftwidth=4 set expandtab https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-edit.html #40DaysOfNetBSD #NetBSD #RunBSD

@felimwhiteley@mastodon.social @joeress@mastodon.social @tubsta@social.bsdlab.au @latenightlinux@mastodon.social@fedops@fosstodon.org Might I suggest a look at the BSDs? NetBSD has declared no AI, but is the most mysterious one. @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe and @dwarmstrong@fosstodon.org are doing cool stuff with it. Linux is living long enough to become the villain. In a systemd suit. edit: tags! #RunBSD #40DaysOfNetBSD #NetBSD

Day 1 With the release of NetBSD 11.0, and reading about the neat things people are doing with it (particularly on minimal hardware such as @stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe and the #littlefedi project), I want to explore this BSD in more detail. Hence "40 Days of NetBSD", where the plan is to poke around the system a bit each day for the next 40 days to gain a deeper appreciation for the OS and Unix tools. NetBSD now installed on my Thinkpad T480s. Let's go! https://www.dwarmstrong.org/netbsd-encrypt-install/ #40DaysOfNetBSD #NetBSD #RunBSD
