- One of the reasons that originally steered me toward Linux instead of
- 386BSD was the latter's low version number (0.1) compared to Linux (0.97
- at the time). From what I hear from you guys, that big difference may not be
- justified by the features offered by both. What may be behind Jolitz's
- thinking by assigning such an early version number to it? What does he
- think he should have in addition to existing features to qualify for
- version 1.0?

- Any ideas?
