Message-ID: <1994Jul24.205056.23692@cc.usu.edu> From: sl9xv@avon.declab.usu.edu (869483 Bennett Brendt) Date: 24 Jul 94 20:50:56 MDT Reply-To: sl9xv@avon.declab.usu.edu (869483 Bennett Brendt) Distribution: world Organization: Utah State University Nntp-Posting-Host: avon.declab.usu.edu Lines: 26 First I wanted to apologize for the previous post. I tried to post from home using a modem and it freaked out on me and posted a blank input. Sorry. I am getting a new computer system and planned to put FreeBSD on it when it arrived. However, a friend has told me that all the BSDs will be removed from the FTP sites soon do to the lawsuit agreement (very soon he says). If this is so I need to get the binaries and sources (I want them too) now, which causes me a problem since I have no where to store all of it. If FreeBSD 2.0s release is imminent then I might wait even though I wanted to mess with it in the summer while I have more time. I am having a hard time making a decision about what to do. If I wait, no FreeBSD available; if I don't wait, there is no where to store it and I may have to upgrade very soon. It would really help if someone could say what the relative time tables for these things happening might be. I have already read the FAQ that is on ftp.cdrom.com. Thanks for your time, Brendt Bennett sl9xv@cache.declab.usu.edu
