Mini-PCI on NetBSD

The upcoming industry standard for Mini-PCI was tested and found working 
in NetBSD. Using the machine independent bus and driver infrastructure, 
no changes were needed to the existing code. Components used for testing 
were a IBM ThinkPad T20 notebook equipped with a 3Com 3c556B network card. 

An introduction to Mini-PCI can be found at Dell's website

Understanding Shell Prompts
September 19, 2000

Looking to change your default shell prompt? Dru Lavigne helps us 
understand the four major shells and how to change their prompts. Her 
column, FreeBSD Basics, at the O'Reilly Network is geared towards new users 
and often contains information relevant to all BSD. 

To help supplement this article, the BSD Support Forum is collecting user 
contributed shell prompts. Dru will be compiling a list from that.

New BSD products at Think Geek

I've already enjoyed some of Think Geeks products. Most people still can't

Think Geek has now added two more BSD products to their catalog. There's a 
BSD mug and a BSD Grand Pilsner, which is also available as a two pack.

802.11 at BSDcon 
September 11, 2000 

For those of you with Orinocco (nee' WaveLan) cards, I plan on bringing 
an Airport to BSDcon, and (so long as they will let me) hooking it up 
to the terminal room LAN, like at the last Usenix conference. So, don't 
leave it at home!
