NetBSD and My Life (2005)

Gary Rolland, a UK-based network administrator, describes how NetBSD transformed his work environment by replacing unreliable Windows servers with 29 NetBSD servers that now support over 4,800 users while handling mission-critical operations including MySQL databases, Apache, email, and file services. His company's NetBSD infrastructure processes over 870GB of data daily with significantly greater stability and reliability compared to their previous Windows setup, dramatically improving both his professional performance and personal life through reduced emergency calls and stress.
