88          Many people and firms have provided hardware and/or money to
89          try and  keep  this  unfunded  project  going  through  many
90          releases  despite  a  recession and hard times -- usually by
91          digging into their own pockets.  Each of these  contributors
92          gave,  not  only because they believed that the continuation
93          of  386BSD  is  vital  to  the  health  of   the   research,
94          educational,  and  development communities, but also because
95          they  realize  that  an  individual  can  and  does  make  a
96          difference!
97
98          Without  the  help  of  the  people listed here, this system
99          software release would simply not have been  possible.   The
100          rest  of  the 386BSD user community should make special note
101          of all these people and firms and  commend  them  for  their
102          generosity and foresight.
103
104          We  hope  that  their  leadership  and  vision will serve as
105          shining examples to the entire 386BSD  user  community,  and
106          serve to encourage others to actively participate in 386BSD.

274          everyone  who  has  been  supportive  of  386BSD, we wish to

276          assistance  to  us  directly  over the course of getting the
277          system software out the door.

383               The  first public release of 386BSD, 386BSD Release 0.0
384          (March 1992), was based on the source code contained in  the
385          EECS  Department  Networking  2  Release  -- a compendium of
386          software source code done by developers all over  the  world
387          and   contributed   to  the  University  of  California  for
388          redistribution to the public (see source code  listings  for
389          authorship   and   copyright  restrictions).   This  release
390          contained the prior unencumbered  386BSD  source  code  work

404          done  by William Jolitz. The missing kernel software modules
405          (some of them major omissions) and release  engineering  was
406          also done solely by William Jolitz. See the two-part article
407          _3_8_6_B_S_D: _M_i_s_s_i_n_g _P_i_e_c_e_s, _D_r. _D_o_b_b_s  _J_o_u_r_n_a_l,  June-July  1992
408          for  information on the methodology and construction of this
409          first complete and unencumbered 386BSD systems release  (the
410          complete series is available as part of the _3_8_6_B_S_D _R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e
411          _C_D).
412
413               Since that first release, many people have developed or
414          enhanced  new  software  programs  and modules and conducted
415          ports of popular public domain  user  programs  featured  as
416          part  of  this  release.   While  some  of this software was
417          directly contributed to us, most items were  made  available
418          to  all  users  via  the Internet and been incorporated into
419          many personal variants  of  386BSD.   Occasionally,  several
420          people  came  up  with  a variety of approaches for a single
421          item. In this instance, we tried to choose the one which  we
422          felt  would  best serve the rest of the 386BSD user base for
423          this release.  However, the creativity and  perseverance  of
424          all  the  software contributors trying to make 386BSD better
425          for the entire 386BSD user community was considerable.  Each
426          individual  effort  is  worthy of pride.  386BSD Release 0.1
427          was an attempt to consolidate and set a baseline  for  these
428          changes.  It  consisted of a fully fleshed out stable system
429          based on the older Release 0.0 technology contained  in  the
430          NET/2  release,  coupled  with  the  many popular publically
431          available applications and development packages used in many
432          Unix systems.
433
434               Release  1.0,  in  contrast,  begins a reexamination of
435          this older technology and incorporates some of the new ideas
436          and  paradigm  shifts  contemplated  in BSD operating system
437          design ever since this project began  in  1989  --  some  of
438          which  have  been  discussed  since the early 1980's.  It is
439          humbling to realize that after five years of work, 386BSD is
440          only  now  becoming  the experimental platform for new ideas
441          that was intended, and that there is still much new work  to
442          do.   As  such,  while  scanning  the source files contained
443          within this release, we ask that you make a special note  of
444          the  many  people  who have created new work over the years,
445          for these are the people to watch in the next  five  to  ten
446          years.
447
448               We  wish  to  personally  thank all of these people, as
449          they  have  helped  speed  386BSD  releases  back   to   the
450          contributor  and  all  other  users  of 386BSD. We hope that
451          these contributors and all  the  rest  of  the  386BSD  user
452          community   will   continue   this   cycle   of   new  work,
453          incorporation, testing, and release, in order to make future
454          releases even better!
