FreeBSD 1.1 is more stable than any other public release of *BSD you'll
find.

It will be out in a couple weeks (in BETA now), though if you're
interested in being a BETA tester check out the announcement in
comp.os.386bsd.announce.  The BETA release has some file-system
permission problems and a couple little kernel bugs that affect fd and
aha542 users but they are now in the tree and I believe new install
disks are going to be made RSN.

Your guess is as good as mine.  I've not heard a peep about it even when
I've asked the NetBSD developers.
