Exactly.  Most zealot's are religious zealots.  It extremely easy
to get all worked up and froth at the mouth over something that doesn't
exist.  You can't prove it exist, but the heathens can't prove that
it doesn't.  So you preach on and on about nothing.  *Exactly* what
you are doing Jesus Monroy Jr.  You're pounding the pulpit with your
386bsd 1.0 bible, but you are not proving or disproving anything, you
are simply preaching.

Yes, I'm in bed with the Devil. (ok, the Devil's daughter.. :-) )
I guess I am in the "386bsd 1.0 doesn't exist" camp.  When I see it,
smell it, feel it, taste it, hear it, etc, then it exists!
I have NetBSD on my machine because I know it works, I don't simply
think it works, or simply want it to work, I f**king *know* it works!
