	A good chunk of 4.4 has been incorporated in to NetBSD-current,
	if you are REALLY anxious to see 4.4 kernel code and libs hop
	on to sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu or one of it's mirrors and
	look at the tar balls.

	By the way, NetBSD was mostly net/2 and there were ALOT of
	changes done to ALL the diretory trees in the name of 4.4-lite
	integration so your earlier comment about not being much different
	from Net/2 is probably inaccurate.

	FreeBSD is supposed to be integrating 4.4-lite as well.

	I'm running yesterday's source tree for NetBSD on my Amiga
	via a SLIP link right now. It all runs very nice and there are
	significant additions from the 4.4-lite tree, most of it cool stuff!
