not that we can tell.
jaye said, "if you need something now..."
NetBSD exists NOW, works, and where it doesn't work it's improving.
FreeBSD doesn't really exist now (as they've made no "final" public
release of any version).
386BSD 0.1 exists now, and with the patchkit works, though not nearly
as well as NetBSD 0.9. it's not going anywhere.
386BSD 0.2 (?) doesn't exist now, and nobody has much of an idea when
it will.
hence, jaye said to go with NetBSD...
