That reminds me (but I'm not sure why it does) -- recently I installed NetBSD on the second hard disk of a professor's aging Sun SPARC after the first hard disk failed, and he's very happy with its performance. He didn't know anything about BSD earlier. But I noticed that he was particularly reassured, early on, by the University of California copyright messages that scroll by on bootup. When he commented on that I gave him some further history on BSD. Of course, he's a scientist and probably has an instinctive regard for work done in universities, management types / PHB's may not react the same way... R.
