Hi BSD fans,

I have a suggestion. Why not rename all the comp.os.386bsd groups to
comp.unix.pc.net2bsd or comp.unix.net2bsd? 

I ask this because I think many people are confused by the fact the
the group is called 386bsd but 386bsd 0.1 is effectively obsolete. Why
not give a more generic name that will cover NetBSD, FreeBSD and any
future release of 386BSD?

Just my 2 pence worth.

Duncan

P.S I am not attempting to start a flame war.
