- Thank you for your, response. After seeing the development of this thread
- I felt that I should also contribute. Currently I am running Linux. I
- have no great attachment to it. I could just as easily have picked 386BSD.
- The reason I didn't was that in the weeks that I had been watching the net
- before deciding between the two operating systems, I never saw a FAQ or
- any other posting which described how to obtain 386BSD. On the other
- hand, the volume of information regarding Linux in the newsgroups is
- almost deafening.
-
- I don't know which is better for what purposes. Perhaps we could see
- more periodic postings from you and the other developers of 386BSD.
-
- The other good way to pass information and reduce ftp traffic is the
- formation of user's groups. Is there a Linux and/or 386BSD user's
- group in the Silicon Valley area. If not I'd gladly organize them. It
- would probably be inappropriate for me to run a 386BSD user's group since
- I don't currently use it, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
