Until recently I've only had a small amount of drive space for BSD and have
been basically using it as a platform to run a test MudOS mud on. I didn't
need any security features, didn't have room to recompile the kernel and had
no crashes in all the time its been running. However in 2 weeks I shall be
obtaining a 340meg HD to complement my current 140 megs and around 300 of
that space is going to go over to a serious BSD system.
My question,
Do I use NetBSD or FreeBSD or do I stick with 386BSD and apply the
0.2.4 patchkit. Which is easiest to install in terms of the 386BSD
TinyBSD boot floppy and which one comes the most highly recommended
Its to run on an 4mb 386sx-25 until I can afford to buy a load of
memory and a new m/board.
So whats the opinions people ?
