The FreeBSD or NetBSD distribution includes binaries and sources for gcc/tcp/ip/NFS/X cdrom support. NetBSD offers the ability to run BSDI binaries and has dynamic shared libraries also it is being ported to different platforms. Oops I forgot not mentioned no motif. freebsd at freebsd.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD netbsd at agate.berkeley.edu:/pub/NetBSD Currently telnet to this machine from my home machine running netbsd. My home connection to the internet is via slip. At home my entire X binary distribution was compiled with shared libraries.
