Date: 23 Apr 1996 09:03:49 GMT Organization: University of Saskatchewan Lines: 14 Message-ID: <4li6dl$1ki@tribune.usask.ca> Reply-To: lrw118@mail.usask.ca NNTP-Posting-Host: ascl.usask.ca X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:17888 comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc:3266 I have a CD with two Linux distributions: Slackware 3.0 and Red Hat 2.1. It is in great condition, and comes with online documentation. We are in this largely to learn about Unix operating systems, right? Then would someone who has tried FreeBSD or NetBSD be interested in swapping CDs? I would prefer a CD with a live filesystem if possible (stuff can run off of the CD to some extent for regular operation); does BSD have this? Also, the distribution must be 1995 or 1996 - that is, with recent enough programming, and stable. Please e-mail me with details about what you have to offer. Thanks!
