BSD/386 by >BSDI corp is the $950 one. Both come with source code. And a *well spent* $950 (actually $995) it is - no futzing about for "which patch # do I need", etc. Depends on what one's goals are. If "getting the system to work" is the goal then by all means get the FREE one (and from what i've read be prepared to spend, in some cases, a lot of time getting it stable), otherwise (as i did) pay a few $ and get on with "the work at hand". Just my two cents worth... Steven Schultz sms@wlv.iipo.gtegsc.com
