I've been watching this group ever since it was created and it seems to be
populated solely by people asking general UNIX or C questions or a few
die-hards still running 386BSD 0.1.  Where are all the 386BSD 0.2 users?  Where
IS 386BSD 0.2?!  It was supposed to be an academic research system, right?
Well, where are all the academics?  Where are the ftp sites and the public
386BSD repositories?

I don't know, but Dr. Dobbs must be pretty pissed off after running all those
expensive full page adverts for 386BSD, that's all I can say.  I've seen
virtually nothing here or elsewhere from any actual users of the system.
Are you guys hiding?  Come out!  It's safe, really, the Linux people don't bite
(too much)! :-)
