Date: 28 Jan 1993 13:21:43 GMT Organization: ZRZ/TU-Berlin Lines: 30 Message-ID: <1k8ml7INN9al@mailgzrz.TU-Berlin.DE> NNTP-Posting-Host: marie.physik.tu-berlin.de Yes, I want to install either one on my system, but now I've got to choose. I've tried 386bsd for a while, and then ran out of hard disk, and patience... So, I've played with dos for a while. But now I've had a sudden burst of money on my bank account, and I have to spend it quickly on another hard disk... My system: ISA 386/40 + 387/40 8MB ram, (64kB cache) Maxtor 7120A (130MB AT-IDE) Archive ???? 60MB tape drive (uses DC2000/2120, connected to floppy adapt.) Pro Audio Spectrum 16bit (Yes I had something to do with dos...) Sony CD-ROM (connected to PAS via SCSI(?) 8-bit) Trident-8900C (but can get Tseng ET-4000) + another hard disk 100-200MB... So, that's what I've got, and now I would like to know why to choose the 386bsd over Linux? Is there support for my CD-ROM in bsd, or for my tape drive? Is the source code available on CD? (I've heard of a MegaCD that "contains BSD sources", but thats all...) If there is someone out there that can, and is willing to help me. Please answer to this group or via e-mail.
