It appears that the only way to consolidate our efforts is for the 386bsd community to choose an OS. Look, I am not saying that NetBSD or FreeBSD are inferior or that one group is less talented than any other, rather it would be to our benefit to provide a single alternate solution to 386bsd-0.1 or to 386bsd-0.2 whenever it comes out.
