Date: 27 Apr 1993 19:52:10 GMT Organization: I.Physikalisches Institut RWTH-Aachen Lines: 29 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1rk2tb$o60@urmel.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> Reply-To: kuku@acds.physik.rwth-aachen.de NNTP-Posting-Host: acds.physik.rwth-aachen.de Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm back from a bit longer Easter vacation and absence and the first thing I did was to peek into agate and look at the directory dates and I was surprised to see something called NetBSD-0.8. Hhm, thought I, Bill has released something new, perhaps a 386BSD based on more things from the Net-2 release. But the closer I was looking and the more I was reading the news the more grew my disappointment and anger. I must tell the creators of this thing: I'm not happy with it ! This has been an unholy decision. This is leading to diverging activities: We now have 386BSD-0.1, patchkit and Net386BSD ! For what should we post further patches, amendments etc.? Did this all happen in accordance with Bill Jolitz? I'd be really surprised if that would be the case. This all is of course my opinion but I believe I'm not alone. -- --Chris Christoph P. U.
