Keywords: 386 BSD unix Message-ID: <82134@ut-emx.uucp> Date: 22 Oct 92 09:49:19 GMT References: <1992Oct13.233850.10990@acd4.acd.com> <1992Oct13.234026.11076@acd4.acd.com> Sender: news@ut-emx.uucp Organization: The University of Texas at Austin, Austin TX Lines: 20 This is a beginner's question: What versions of BSD are available for the 386, and what features do they offer? I have Coherent, but am missing graphics, sound (blaster) and removable tape support. Do any BSD versions for the 386 have these? And what is the difference between BSDI, 386BSD, and 386/BSD? Also, please state if they have large drawbacks, like o not running in protected mode o no major FTP site (I'm not paying LD bills for UUCP!!!) o no AHA1542-B based SCSI disk support o small number of users (8 or less) o lots of patches needed to get a reliable system Thanks 1E6, and please tell me where the FAQ is for these OS's! -- ------------ Protect our endangered bandwidth - reply by email.
