Give me a break. Perhaps for legal reasons they can't be distributed under the name Unix, but they *are* Unix, and any claim to the contrary is merely a legally-sanctioned lie. Maybe lawyers have to pretend it's true, but we don't. >personally I don't mind the comp.os.386bsd tree. There I agree with you. I see no reason to change the newsgroup names at present. Anyone who doesn't realise what the 386bsd groups are about can always use comp.unix.bsd where they will probably be enlightened. -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, HCRC, Edinburgh University R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk "We demand guaranteed rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty" - HHGTTG
