Do you want to see the 386BSD world become like Yugoslavia?  I hope that
the soon to come new Jolitz release is termed "good" by CKD.  If that
turns out to be the case, The -need- for NetBSD will go away.  Just like
if the world was perfect and stressless, then no one would want
narcotics.  If 386BSD becomes a lot less rough on the edges (such as
configuration), then NetBSD won't be needed.  I am not biased towards
either product.  I've used both and they do that same thing for me.
Difference?  I set up NetBSD in 1/2 hour plus ftp time.  386BSD took
hours
of irc'ing and getting help from mycroft.  Also, having kernel sources
separated from the rest of the sources is a very good idea.  It makes a
200 meg drive system really workable.
