- Yes, I want to install either one on my system, but now I've
- got to choose. I've tried 386bsd for a while, and then ran out of hard
- disk, and patience... So, I've played with dos for a while. But now I've
- had a sudden burst of money on my bank account, and I have to spend it
- quickly on another hard disk...
-
- My system:
-
- ISA 386/40 + 387/40
- 8MB ram, (64kB cache)
- Maxtor 7120A (130MB AT-IDE)
- Archive ???? 60MB tape drive (uses DC2000/2120, connected to floppy adapt.)
- Pro Audio Spectrum 16bit (Yes I had something to do with dos...)
- Sony CD-ROM (connected to PAS via SCSI(?) 8-bit)
- Trident-8900C (but can get Tseng ET-4000)
- + another hard disk 100-200MB...
-
- So, that's what I've got, and now I would like to know why to choose
- the 386bsd over Linux? Is there support for my CD-ROM in bsd, or for my
- tape drive? Is the source code available on CD? (I've heard of a MegaCD that
- "contains BSD sources", but thats all...)
-
- If there is someone out there that can, and is willing to help me.
- Please answer to this group or via e-mail.
