We test Lab CodeTyphon 7.30 on NetBSD 9.1

NetBSD is a free, secure, and highly portable UNIX-like Open Source operating system available for many platforms, from 64-bit AlphaServers and desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices.
Its clean design and advanced features make it excellent in both production and research environments, and it is user-supported with complete source.
Many applications are easily available through The NetBSD Packages Collection.

NetBSD is one of our LAB Reference OSes
