33 | There are a number of 386BSD special interest groups | |
34 | forming, focussing on topics of interest to the research and | |
35 | development community. Among these areas of interest are: | |
36 | ||
37 | * Shared Libraries | |
38 | ||
39 | * Filesystems | |
40 | ||
41 | * Symmetric Multiprocessing | |
42 | ||
43 | * Windowing Systems | |
44 | ||
45 | * Virtual Memory System | |
46 | ||
47 | * Gigabit Networking | |
48 | ||
49 | In addition, a number of smaller projects focussing on | |
50 | improvements in the kernel and utilities are getting under- | |
51 | way. | |
52 | ||
53 | If you are interested in learning about any of these | |
54 | groups, or you would like to form your own SIG, please fill | |
55 | out and send in this REGISTRATION form and we will put you | |
56 | on the SIG mailing list (along with the general 386BSD mail- | |
57 | ing list) and help you form contacts with other users | |
58 | interested in discussing these topics. | |

85 | 386BSD is intended by the developer to be used for edu- | |
86 | cational and research purposes. As such, the developer of | |
87 | this release is making it available to the user at no | |
88 | charge, in order to encourage and facilitate its use in | |
89 | research and education. However, 386BSD has been a costly | |
90 | product to develop and maintain, and each release consumes | |
91 | enormous resources. | |
92 | ||
93 | Release 0.0, the first complete freely available | |
94 | release of BSD for the 386/486 PC, was completed entirely as | |
95 | a personal project. 386BSD Release 0.1, the second release | |
96 | of a complete 386BSD system, was motivated primarily due to | |
97 | the enthusiasm and contributions of the Release 0.0 user | |
98 | base. | |
99 | ||
100 | In sum, 386BSD has taken over four years of personal | |
101 | financing on the part of the developers to get it out to the | |
102 | user. Unfortunately, we are not funded by any granting | |
103 | agency, university, corporation, or non-profit company. | |
104 | ||
105 | If you like 386BSD, you may elect to make a contribu- | |
106 | tion to defray the cost of development and to demonstrate | |
107 | support of this project. If just 10% of the number of peo- | |
108 | ple using 386BSD out there right now sent in $100 each, this | |
109 | project would be adequately funded for the next two years! | |
110 | ||
111 | Should you with to make a contribution, return this | |
112 | form with your check or money order (suggested contribution: | |
113 | $50.00US binary and $100.00US source) made out to: | |
