Many individual (most not now > at BSDi) actually started rumors and incited mis-trust. (Brief background, I am bored. I noticed a trend that everytime someone mentions BSD on Slashdot, someone asks what the differences are between the BSDs, aside from hype. I am trying to resolve that question.) So at this point, I am trying to figure out why NetBSD and FreeBSD didn't pool resource early. I know why OpenBSD exists so that is not a question (though great quotes are appreciated:). Why did Jolitz pull support from 386BSD? And what was BSDi doing at the time? Jamie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
