: When?  How do I get a copy?  Why should I bother?

Mostly because Bill and Lynne Jolitz (hi) :) showed up at SV-Net last
night in Mountain View CA, and gave a rather impressive talk and demo of
the new 386BSD 1.0.

One thing that I find most impressive about it is all the copious notes,
annotations, documentation etc. of the kernel. These annotations are the
size of large novels, and hopefully should be of a great boon to people
curious about how the inner parts of BSD works, why certain things are
done the way they are, etc.
