Good Morning,
Okay. First I admit I haven't kept up with the comp.os.386bsd.*
groups for a while. What I want to do is soon install one of the BSD
flavors onto my PC at home. What I need to know is which of them is
stable and has slip working correctly? I had installed NetBSD 0.8 and
had major headaches with reboots and such to the point I wasn't sure
I wanted to run it. Is NetBSD 0.9 anymore stable? I admit that I
don't want to kernel hack, but I don't want a kernel that has unknown
bugs in it. Installing a patch is easy, I've learned to live with
them in the SunOS world, but having to rewrite the kernel myself, is
not something I have the time for right now. I've picked up the
386bsd FAQ recently, but does it apply for FreeBSD and NetBSD or do
they have their own FAQ?
Thanks for any and all insight.
Ciao,
