Its nice to see that the 'work at hand' involves bad-mouthing every other
free version of *BSD, while not telling everyone why to get 386bsd over
them- could it be that it has nothing to offer over [Free,Net]BSD?

Of course, they do run better then 386bsd 1.0, since nobody has it yet

And if you can find an ftp site that contains out-of-date files, you can
find all the 386bsd 0.x patches, which tells me something about the base
386bsd code

I'm sure that some of the people who contribute to [Net,Free]BSD will be
amazed to find out that they 'don't have a clue how to write decent code'

i think that its kind of funny that you don't recommend the new version
of 386bsd- is there something wrong with it?
Of course, not knowing the difference between UNIX and OS/2 says alot
about your knowledge of OS's
