It might be interesting to look at some of the places that 386bsd and NetBSD are being used. I'm sure some of the people and places would be interesting and unusual. The system that I'm currently running NetBSD with XFree on will be installed this October at Amundsen Scott South Pole Station, at 90 degrees south in Antarctica. Ironically, though we're involved with supporting some cutting-edge science down there for NSF, there is not much money for purchasing luxuries like computers... I'm looking at NetBSD and 386BSD 486 machines as a way of providing general access to Unix machines in a place where an astrophysicist might not appreciate your hacking on his SPARC that's trying to prove the big bang theory of the universe...
