Hello!

I want to install the BSD UNIX on my i486DX2-66 PC Platform. What is the better
package to start: NetBSD-0.9 which should released at the end of this month or the 386bsd package? I'm also very interested in shared libs. Are they usable, or instable, or whatever ....? Who can give any hints? 

Or is Linux the better choice (sorry to ask this in the BDS newsgroup)?
How can I connect to the BSD mailinglist?

Thanks for help!

			Lars
