To quote Bill and Lynne Jolitz, as they write in /INSTALL.NOTES,
distributed with 386bsd.01:

   On the INTERNET/USENET, we are hoping to establish our
   own newsgroup called "comp.os.386bsd". This newsgroup would
   reside alongside the "comp.os.mach"	and "comp.os.linux"
   newsgroups. Already there are over 100,000 copies of Release
   0.0, and we hope to add to this	number	with the new	and
   improved Release 0.1.	Please help	us to establish this
   newsgroup devoted to the "freely available" 386BSD system,
   by asking your news coordinator to subscribe to it. We do
   not recommend using comp.unix.bsd, since 386BSD, like linux
   and mach, is not a "comp.unix" system.
