Best way to get "most current" and stay there with NetBSD? Date: 4 Aug 1993 17:42:58 -0500 Organization: MCSNet Ops, Chicago, IL Lines: 22 Message-ID: <23pe1i$2t3@genesis.MCS.COM> NNTP-Posting-Host: genesis.mcs.com I have an 0.8 system loaded with an 0.9 kernel on it. This is not a good thing, as I discovered. In particular, the "ps" command seems not to know about some changed kernel structures. Boo hiss. Now, the question is: How do I get current with NetBSD? And should I even do that? Or is there something else out there (like 386BSD) which I should run instead? Can someone send me a FAQ or something that outlines the differences behind the different "free" BSDs? I am looking into the possiblity of committing to one of them for a relatively major project, which means among other things that I'll start maintaining software packages and the like for the OS (and will likely put up an FTP server for this stuff as well).
