Mckay) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions,comp.os.386bsd.misc Subject: Re: 386BSD 0.1 must die ( was Re: FreeBSD vs NetBSD etc.) Date: 18 Sep 1993 16:22:03 -0400 Organization: MIT EECS ECF Lines: 17 Message-ID: <27fqlb$knq@eddie.mit.edu> References: <2769a7$knq@iskut.ucs.ubc.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: eddie.mit.edu I can only speak for myself, but I find 386BSD 0.1 (PK 0.2.4) to be *VERY* stable. Some folks like to tinker, but dont like the idea that one day it may all just BLOW UP / STOP WORKING. Although I see little mail about 386bsd, I see LOTS of people complaining about NetBSD, or FeeBSD for one reason or another. Its all well and good to be "developing" an operating system, but there should be something around for folks like me who like to have a reasonable "development" system, while still actully USING the O/S. I look forward to 386bsd 1.0 when it is released. And have hopes it will be as stable as 0.1/0.2.4 has proven to be. - Shawn
