Seeing as how there's a *lot* of software running on sunos4
that I'd like to run on one of the 3b's (oops) Free B's,
my question is... Which of freebsd, netbsd or 386bsd has
the least pain of porting involved for big stuff such
as Kerberos, etc? I have a port of Kerberos V4 sort of
running on bsdi and it was not just a matter of typing "make."
