Advanced Programming in the #UNIX Environment
In this class, we use #NetBSD as our reference platform. In addition to our shared shell server, here are some ways you can install NetBSD:
- put it on e.g., your laptop: https://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-exinst.html
- use VirtualBox: https://stevens.netmeister.org/631/virtualbox/
- use UTM: https://stevens.netmeister.org/631/utm/ (Video instructions: https://youtu.be/hCqfmuG5Acc )
- use or create an AWS image: https://stevens.netmeister.org/615/netbsd-amis.html
- create your own NetBSD #Linode: https://www.netmeister.org/blog/netbsd-on-linode.html
