- 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.
