To get more information on BetBSD 0.9, ftp agate.berkeley.edu and look in pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-0.9 and for FreeBSD I believe the ftp site is freefall.cdrom.com. Both are FAR more stable than 386bsd, pretty much are upgraded versions of 386bsd, and are very good. I've been using NetBSD 0.9 since it came out, and apart from some com port problems, it's been great. Toodlepip!
