I haven't seen the groups for a while, so i'm a little confused about
what's going on in the world of BSD.  Can someone tell me what the
difference between 386BSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and any other spliters is?
Which is the most current?  Which is most stable?  Which changes the
least?  What's the 'NetBSD-Current' directory on agate hold?  If this
is related to a distribution strategy, what's the grand strategy?

Thanks a bunch,

Warren
