Apparently TeX and X11 have been already ported to 386bsd (I've seen the binaries on agate.berkeley.edu). Surely, both are much more complex systems than a bridge or a nuclear plant. If they work at all, 386bsd can't be that bad. -- Zdzislaw Gustav Meglicki, gustav@arp.anu.edu.au, Automated Reasoning Program - CISR, and Plasma Theory Group - RSPhysS, The Australian National University, G.P.O.
