I really was wondering, could someone PLEASE EXPLAIN to me what the difference between FreeBSD, NetBSD, 386BSD and BSD4.4lite is? As far as I understand it, 386BSD and BSD 4.4lite split from 4.3bsd ... 386BSD being 386 port by Jolitz. In the announcement for 4.4lite, it has said that "386/488 ISA/EISA" architecture was supported ... so what is FreeBSD? Why is FreeBSD 2.0 being based on 4.4lite when 4.4lite is already supposed to support 386? Also, is NetBSD decendent from Net1 -> Net2 ? What is the difference between FreeBSD and NetBSD? Is 386BSD no longer in support? Can I just get 4.4lite distribution and install it on my 486?????? ???? -- Jinwoo Shin jwshin@eecs.berkeley.edu System Administrator Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center
