That is the question...

Here I picked up this nifty CD from a company called Info Magic with the
latest version of 386BSD and Linux on it. After asking my fellow Usenet
readers which way to go between 386BSD and Linux... I started to travel
the 386BSD road to installation, when lo and behold, I come across a
reference to NetBSD.

The question is should I FTP NetBSD and install it, or should I stick
with 386BSD. Please let me know the pros/cons of the two so I can make a
semi-informed decision.

Thanks,
