Oh yes. Glad you mentionned it. Could somebody uuencode and send
a complete FreeBSD 1.1 + XFree 2.1.1 source distribution ?
That should solve the problem, right ?
That was so simple. Thanks, Jesus, for giving the solution.

Yes. Rumor says they're in FreeBSD and NetBSD. Rumor even says some
people use them. But you know what rumors are...

If you find out, tell us all. Maybe someone can send a copy of the
code ?

Oh yes. Where have you been in the past few months ? In a hospital ?

Yes, on the space shuttle too, and it will be on the moon base LAN
as soon as possible. In fact, the little green men are running a
386bsd Beta now because they're fed up with Windows NT.

Is this sentence from a random generator ?
I don't see the relation between Linux copies and NetBSD.

You mean a suit-by-suit basis with USL, probably.

Jesus, would this be reasonnable ? You've been drinking too much
