I'd second Bdale's comment.  More importantly, why comp.os.386bsd, why
not comp.os.bsd.386, or to avoid the confusion with BSDI's product,
comp.os.bsd.386bsd.  Why do I say this, other than to burn inodes? Well, what 
about comp.os.bsd.sparc and comp.os.bsd.mips?  I hope that there will 
eventually be free BSD based systems for more than just intel x86 based 
architectures.  Heck, there are already.
