| 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: |
