I see your point. Thanks to everyone who responded to my original posting. I guess what I am most interested in is getting at least one exclusive 386BSD group going. It seems to me that perhaps two or three would be better, but I am most concerned with actually getting this thing off the ground. Preferably soon, but without undue rush. I'm not stuck on the names of any of these, so don't debate them with me. This is what I would propose if I were to do it today: comp.os.386bsd <-- misc discussion and coordination comp.os.386bsd.install <-- slightly nicer term for newbie comp.os.386bsd.development <-- patches, bugs, ports, new software I think those are pretty self-explanatory.
