I kept NetBsd with XS3. One annoying bug in BSDI is that it crashes the system if I don't pipe the output to a file when I start the X server. And its new X server also does not restore the screen properly upon exiting. I can installed NetBsd in about 30 minutes or less. such is not the case with BSDI. I can just download the latest gcc from sunvis.rtpnc.epa,etc.. Also, we have ported many packages so downloading to 386bsd is a breeze. Granted I can do the same with BSDI but why should I bother? As for the performance of the VM system just wait when 0.2 comes (big smile) P.S.: just installed digicom systems 96+ which is a software upgradable modem and downloaded to my modem (from dos :-( ) the 14kb support and V42bis support. Later on the year I will download to my modem v.fast !! That is all for now folks!
