I know very little about 386BSD. I saw some articles in Dr Dobbs about
porting Unix to 386, and I guess we can get it free, even the source
code. That's all I know about it.
1. Is it really free ?
2. Where can I get it ? (I can FTP)
3. How much disk space for:
*kernel
*X
*source to kernel
*source to X
4. I have 386-33, 130meg HD, 4meg RAM, ET4000 card, microsoft mouse.
(no 387) will this config work?
5. How good does it work?
6. Is there free developement kit, C, C++, libraries,etc..?
Thanks for all information.
