PRO
1. I like 386BSD . It works for me. I have had little or no problems with it.
   (once I got it installed)
CON
1. It does take a lot of hard disk space.
2. It attracts people who bitch and  complain alot.

I will be sorry to see 386BSD go. The departure does provide incentive
to move on...  to where:  FreeBSD, LINUX ????? 

Maybe this is natures way of telling us to get off our rears.
