How NetBSD Saved My Family Time: A Sysadmin's Story

NetBSD and My Life (2005)

Gary Rolland, a network admin at a large UK company, shares how switching from Windows to NetBSD transformed his work and personal life. Managing 29 servers supporting 4,800 users, he faced constant crashes and on-call disruptions that strained his family. After a successful trial, his team migrated fully to NetBSD, gaining stability and free time. The move ended weekend on-calls and improved his relationships, culminating in a long-awaited family trip to Alton Towers.
