Carlstrom) writes: Brian> why not just comp.os.bsd.* Because that will clash with a newsgroup that already exists that deals with the official BSD from Berkeley (well sort of). The current structure was created to get all us people running 386BSD (at the time) out from under the feet of the people running BSD on things like VAXes who would have their postings swamped by the general 386BSD traffic. I am sure they do not want us back. How about: comp.os.open-bsd ;-) I mean if DEC can do it why can't we? -- Brett Lymn
