^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Given what we've had so far, I think that the word EXPERIMENTAL is
incorrect.
386BSD should be called a DEMONSTRATIONAL OPERATING SYSTEM.
In other words, there is a CD with lots of explanation about how to write an
operating system, and it comes complete with code that can actually be
booted to demonstate the points made in the documentation. The code may
well not be the latest and greatest, nor the fastest, etc etc, but it does
in fact boot in order to make the point (rather than using psuedo-code).
