If you ask which is better in a 386bsd group you will likely hear that
386bsd is better.  The reverse will happen if you post to the Linux
group.

As a Linux user I wonder about somthing posted earlier.  Someone
said they wanted a BSD system for their home. Having come to Linux
from Minix (as I'm sure most early Linuxers did) I don't know what
in particular is appealing about a "BSD" system.  Other than
familiarity with a BSD system (as opposed to something else) why
the desire?
