We have it inhouse, have had it since just after the initial announcement.
We haven't put it up yet. The biggest reason was we needed a hardware
upgrade and that was installed just a few weeks ago, as my summer offcampus
began. A second reason is the initial release can't support software
development..the gcc compiler is used on a machine other than the /386.
The next release should contain the gcc compiler and support for more
ethernet adapters. I plan on installing it as soon as it becomes
available. Note..what I have said above is my own thoughts and words and
doesn't necessarily reflect Berkeley's thoughts. It does accurately
reflect my impressions to date. Personally, I hold high hopes for
i386BSD, especially in conjunction with the new 4.3BSD-reno code.
It could be the most affordable system around for engineering and
science schools. (BSD4.3-reno contains, among many other things,
a public domain implementation of NFS and some ISO support.)
