Try FreeBSD, ftp.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD or mirrors. FreeBSD-2.0-RELEASE is
not available yet but will soon (FreeBSD-2.0-ALPHA is 10 days old). You just
have enough time to read FAQs and READMEs :-)
You failed to point out that there is also NetBSD. NetBSD-1.0 can be
obtained from many ftp sites, including ftp.iastate.edu (we have an
esnet connection, so access from .de should be fairly quick).
386BSD is old and unsupported. NetBSD and FreeBSD are derivatives of
386BSD that are much more current and supported. You don't want
386BSD, but one of its derivative systems: NetBSD or FreeBSD.
