I really have to thank all who had pointed me the path to go and told me
such a wonderful (touching) history about *BSD for personal computer.
However, due to the contradition in the opinions that I had received, it
would be wise for me to keep them for my own judgement, publiclize them
would only cause spark (if not flame), too dangerours.

   
My final decision is to go for all free OS I could get, meanwhile, wait
for the soon to be release newer FreeBSD and NetBSD, don forget the soon
to be release Linux 1.0. I am planning to get all the best and worse,
since they are all designed to address different needs. Too bad I only
have two hard drivers, DOS was accidently erased last week (could be
intentionly, must be my daemon inside). How would people here suggest
putting 3 OS on two 200M HD ?? 

Thanks again for you time.
