We're not biases against 386bsd vx.x, just against misinformation, misdirection, and missing feature lists. Please, let's not discuss something that we don't have any information about! Or, maybe we should all start guessing at 386bsd 1.0 features since *no one* actually knows what will be in it, if it does exist, beyond a few Windows help files? My current hotlist: o Laserwriter support :-) o More Mach VM than you can shake a stick at. o Several other new features that it already had. o XWinhelp the latest hypertext browser for the Internet o New DoD approved disk erasing technique example: dd if=/dev/jesus/monroy/jr of=/dev/rsd1d bs=64k (WARNING: overwrites all information with no information!) o Oh, and a free toner cartridge... :-) > What?
