NetBSD 2.0 has been Release.
NetBSD 2.0 continues our long tradition with major improvements in file system and memory management performance, major security enhancements, and support for many new platforms and peripherals.

The addition of a native threads implementation for all platforms and symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) on i386 and other popular platforms were long-standing goals for NetBSD 2.0. Both of these goals have now been met—SMP support has been added for i386, SPARC, and PowerPC, the SMP support on Alpha and VAX has been improved, and the new port to the 64-bit AMD/Opteron also supports SMP.

The NetBSD Packages Collection is now frozen in preparation of the fourth stable branch. The FTP mirrors site is here.

Here i put the configuration of the UART of the machine by serial port write in C. Before you should indicate the port number so:
#define PORT1 0x3F8 //Serial com1

outportb (PORT1 + 1, 0); // Deshabilitar interrupciones – puerto 1
outportb (PORT1 + 3, 0x80) ; // Fijar DLAB ON = 1
outportb (PORT1 + 0, 0x0C) ; // Velocidad 9600 bps (LATCH LOW)
outportb (PORT1 + 1, 0x00) ; // Velocidad (LATHC HIGH)
outportb (PORT1 + 3, 0x03) ; // 8BITS, NO PARIDAD, 1 BIT DE PARADA
outportb (PORT1 + 2, 0xC7) ; // Registro de control FIFO
outportb (PORT1 + 4, 0x0B) ; // Activar DTR, RTS, Y OUT2

I finished my program in C that comunicate two computers: Server and Client by the serial port, i use the inportb and outportb functons, the client had that choose a file of the Server and copy. The fopen function was util for read and write the files,after then send and receive by outportb and inportb.
Status: Fine.

AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Other mode is editing the httpd.conf and un-comment the linea: #include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf. Finally run the apache daemon.

The last conference named "Free Software in the Government was in API, the conference was good, i spoke about benefit: social, economic and political of Free software, i said about licenses and their cost: by Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition the cost is $250.00 USD, Microsoft Office the costo is $400.00 USD.

I spoke only of these products, but i could tell others, for example: Microsoft SQL Server, AutoCaD, Photoshop, Microsoft Project, etc., then if i use Free Software i can economizer many money, and re-invert it in other things.
