And they are orthogonal to Bill Jolitz, the father of 386BSD. They sell a BSD OS (binaries + sources) for a reasonable 950.00 $/support year Their current version is 2.0 (if I'm correct). FreeBSD runs BSDI binaries (occasionally deviating from this goal). I personally run MapleV (BSDI binary) under FreeBSD. --Chris Christoph P. U.
