That's funny, since it's NOT available yet!

Its Maybeavailablilty?  Have we coined a new marketing term?

Because we're not.  We're bad mouthing YOU, Jesus, for hyping
something YOU haven't seen!  As far as 386bsd 1.0 is concerned,
what's to badmouth?  We haven't the faintest idea what's _actually_
in it!  And don't tell me that what's in it is what Bill says is in it,
since he always says that just about EVERYTHING is in it if you ask him!
Given a choice between Bill's word and the actual source the look at,
I'll take the source any time.  If I ever get the chance, that is.

Naw, our vaporware beats Bill's vaporware any day!  Just the other
day I was talking about the SMP and full Windows emulation support
in FreeBSD 9.7 with some of the other core team members.  Did you
know that 10.0 has the full ability to run on everything from 
crays to casio wristwatches?  S'true - I wouldn't lie to you, Jesus.
