I'm considering running a machine. As physically small and low-power as possible whilst still having Ethernet, USB, and HDMI. The plan is to occasionally compile stuff on it but mainly also stick it in a corner and have it be a minor HTTP/FTP/GOPHER server.

I know that the slogan of long-standing is "Of course it runs NetBSD.", so I know what I'll be told by reflex if I ask whether NetBSD runs on Raspberry Pi-based stuff. (-:

I'm not sure whether I'm better or worse off, power wise, getting a cheap mini-PC instead. They seem over-specced, and fan noise is a problem. Plus, I don't need multiple HDMI ports. I'll barely need one. On the other hand, installation will be less complex and there'll be EFI ab initio.

I have some reading to do.

              I've been reading an interesting article by Liguo Yu et. al., "Maintainability of the kernels of open-source operating systems: A comparison of Linux with FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD" (DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2005.08.014). Keep in mind, the article is from 2005 (published in 2006), so it would be interesting to know how things have changed since then. We are talking here about 2,4,20, 5.1, 1.6 and 3.3.
              The article basically explores maintainability of said OSes judging mainly by usage of global variables.
              Here's some interesting takeouts.
              "Unsafe definition" is in their terms a usage of global variables between kernel modules and non-kernel modules.

              Two graphs showing number of global variables and unsafe definitions in Linux and three BSDs. Linux has significantly more of both.
