... why is it that suddenly I hear people talking about 4.3 BSD?
What kind of release do you refer to? 4.3BSD/Net2? Has another
source code tree turned up on the net? Has the current legal owner
of the remaining proprietory stuff finally set this free (so that
the whole legal battle with UCB in the mid 90s was pointless?)
Why not 4.4BSD Lite? Or are you talking Ultrix? Or do you mean
FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE :-)
regards,
-Gunther
