The networking research community mostly seems to be continuing to use BSD networking code as their experimental/prototyping platform, so that part of BSD is likely to remain lively for a long time yet. The non-networking parts of BSD seem to be attracting much attention from the hacker community, so they will also remain alive for a long while yet in my estimation. BSDI seems to be very successful at selling BSD to the community. I think if/when they come out with RISC system support, I think that will be well received. Ran atkinson@itd.nrl.navy.mil
