I for one will put up two thumbs for 386bsd:
1. Mine has never crashed, (though it has slowed down to a
standstill trying to nroff large files... a problem with having 4 megs
and a smallish swap space I suspect, not to mention running a known to
be buggy version of groff...)
2. The future of BSDI is patchy, unless my info is way old.
They may not get nailed for copyright infringement (I hope not, since
that could cast a nasty light on anyone using anything derived from
NET-2), But I would bet they get hurt from the trademark suit, for
which there is apparently physical evidence. Pretty stupid, really.
BTW what is the latest on all that? Any change from The completion of
the Sales of USL to Novell?
