They're all running FreeBSD and NetBSD. Mark, I disagree with your first point, at least. Being a freind/fan of 386bsd does not imply running it, though. I admit that even I switched over, but that was rather due to the fact that none of the gurus out there appeared to be doing any more work on my favourite OS, which was a bit sad, really. Ah, those were the days, when I installed 386bsd 0.0 (yes, the trailing number is the same as the one just before the dot :) on the hard disk with kernel access only to wd0 and fd0, and root sitting on fd0, and then cat'ing rfd0 onto /mnt/flopyy_image, re-insert root floppy into a:, sync, crash, etc... But, no. I don't think I'm interested in buying a cdrom containing an unknown operating system that yet again might not run on my computer for $99, thank you. Note that I changed the follow-up...
