Shouldn't that also be renamed? : If we follow the analogy, wouldn't it be called "BSD DOS 1.0" ? ;-) : OK, I'll bite. Yes, I'll agree with this. Bill and Lynn have just as much at stake here as they next developer. Sure, I've heard tell of other OSs called Toy OSs, but does this stand to warrent that possibly 386bsd R1.0 could be a "Toy OS". Maybe! This call out, it's anybodys (sp?) game. So let's line up the chip and give this a go by throwing the dice against the wall. Bottom Line, A rat's ass won't matter cause it's going to be the silent developers that will make the difference here,,, those working on tommorrows tecnology, not those that are working on a rehash of VI (sorry elvis). -- Jesus Monroy Jr jmonroy@netcom.com Zebra Research /386BSD/device-drivers /fd /qic /clock /documentation ___________________________________________________________________________
