Hello all!

I have just joined the BSD band-wagon and have a nagging question.

Why are there two separate development efforts of the BSD 4.4 Lite/386BSD
code?  It seems both groups have similiar goals and directions (in fact
it seems the groups "borrow" ideas/code from each other.

If someone has the original thread that explains this and can forward
it to me, that would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.
