I am trying to find the best Unix flavor to suit my needs and I was hoping that
someone out there may be able to recommend were I could start and what I may
need.  I have a 386/25 with a 120mb HD, I am trying to find a Unix with NFS
so I can hook my PC to my NeXT (my NeXT only has the Optical Drive, so I want
to mount my PCs Floppy to the NeXT.  I also want to use some of the extra PCs
Hard Disk, since the NeXTs is almost full).  Could anyone recommend which Unix
to use 386BSD or NetBSD.  Also what are the differences between the two.  And
last but not least, I have read some of the documentation on 386BSD but I can
not find out exactly what files I would need and which I wouldn't.  I started
to download some of them and ended up with a ton of bin and src files.  Which
would be needed and which would be extra.  Any help that anyone can provide 
would be greatly appreciated.  Also could you please Email me a response as
well.  I rarely have time to read all of the net.  Thanks alot...
