The last NetBSD release* is at 1.2 with a bug fix release at 1.2.1. (typing error maybe?) The last generic BSD published (where NetBSD is derived from) was 4.4BSDlite-2. If you're talking about other BSD derivatives like FreeBSD or BSDI's BSD/OS, try their specialized newsgroups or mailing lists... there you are more likely to get specific advice. Regards, Ignatios Souvatzis *) for an explanation about what NetBSD release numbers are, and how formal releases and bugfix releases are releated to NetBSD-current, try "lynx http://www.netbsd.org/Releases/release-map.html" -- NetBSD 1.0 is a release version, Linux 0.9??? still beta. (Matthias Scheler) I doubt that this distinction matters that much for Linux. (Hamish Macdonald)
