Well, I don't much what the name is, as long as the groups exist. Although I don't think 386bsd is obsolete as name for the groups: 386 is for the target architecture, bsd is the os origin ... and 386bsd as o.s. itself is the root for both FreeBSDand and NetBSD, chosing either of these last two names would exclude the other, whereas 386bsd is, in my opionion, synonym for the o.s. family. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauro Franzoni | La politica e' l'arte di impedire alla gente Digital Equipment Corporation | di occuparsi delle cose che la riguardano.
