Does all this arguing ditto.... Maybe I will just go and use linux. A bunch of uncoordinated hackers, but at least they are working together. I have heard reports that they have a version of WABI, and are close to having a version that runs SCO binaries. They already have auto IRQ detection as well as a crufty version of shared libs. (I don't care much for their implementation. very very stupid. But at least they aren't flaming each other...) Not to mention MSDOG emulator (A _very_ bad emulator, but at least they have it) I could see the justification for Netbsd over 386 0.1 as 0.1 is useless without the patch kit... But Freebsd as well? Come on guys, BSD has already lost the war. Linux has won, and I _hate_ linux. Merge the base kernel at least. Get the important things into BSD that will keep it alive for researchers at least. You know how embarassing it is for me to tell confirmed linux users how much better BSD is? Which (free)BSD?
