I'm running 486 right now. The reason for my interest in BSD is because I
wanted to have the real source code and a running system to play around with
while I'm reading "Design and Implementation of 4.3bsd". Although there are
other kernels that I could probably study, I thought that BSDs were the
better documented architecture among them. Am I wrong?
Thanks.
