What I observed was:
1) The 386bsd groups were all talking about Linux.
As for why I'm here now - the 386bsd groups are still all talking about
Linux and I wanted some Linux vs BSD comparisions since I've heard that
The only time the *bsd groups talk about Linux is when people come
posting in them asking about Linux. Trust me, it's not a fixation of
ours. Plus, most honest, hard-core development happens on mailing
lists for both NetBSD and FreeBSD. The newsgroups are pretty much
just for people who ask questions, or to make important announcements.
