Let me know how it turns out.  I'm seriously considering creating a Linux
section on my BBS, but I have a great many misgivings on how it is going to
turn out (All I keep seing is people downloading little miscellaneous parts
from my board ... like maybe GCC libraries or the like and putting them in
the miscellaneous utilities of some other board)

I'd like more than anything for people to know about 386bsd and linux, but
I don't think that my user base would appreciate it.
