	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.
