I, for instance, am running FreeBSD on a PC164 which has the jam to make world in a reasonable amount of time so I could build a kernel and send it your way as long as we negotiated the appropriate config. Come to that, I don't mind spending 30 hours at the task because I don't have to sit around and watch. OTOH, just as you said, there are NetBSD and OpenBSD and they are a lot more attractive to me than Linux. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : "Anybody can be a father Athabasca University : but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy'" ** richardlo@admin.athabascau.ca ** : - Lynn Johnston
