Ok, I know about NetBSD 0.9, I know where I can ftp it from,
I've read the install instructions, etc.

Where do I get FreeBSD from?  I seen several people mention
that it's either already available, or soon to be available.
What is the real story?

I'm currently running 386BSD0.1+pk0.2.4, but I'm seriously
looking at upgrading to one of the newer *BSDs.  I've looked
at NetBSD0.9, but I'd really like to look at FreeBSD before
deciding.

Any non-rumor information is greatly appreciated.
