- My own proposal was to move comp.unix.bsd to comp.os.bsd; unless USL wins,
- in which case we are all in deep doo-doo.
-
- Then subgroups of comp.os.bsd could be created for 386bsd and other bsd
- based systems. My attachment to a unified bsd hierarchy does not seem
- to be shared by the other posters in the thread, or by Lynne Jolitz.
-
- I'm not sure whether or not two separate newsgroups are needed for bsd386
- and 386/bsd. I realize there are political considerations here, but
- comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit ( or whatever it is called ) serves about
- 6 major flavours of SYS V based unix on intel processors.
-
- In a soundbite
-
- comp.os.bsd
- comp.os.bsd.pc-clone
-
- Which would cover bsd386, 386/bsd, mach-386, BNRSS-386, (the last two
- only in regard to their BSD nature, not their mach nature)
-
- Cheers,
-
- David
