Fax/Voice/E-Mail hotline.
There's also a mailinglist bsdi-users @
bsdi .
com which is also helpful.

Only BSDi. In names: Mike Karels, Polk, Torek, Borman and many other names
known from the old CSRG at Berkeley and other main unix vendors.

Yes. This operating systems have the same root (the net/2 tape) and
both are now BSD 4.4 lite based, but BSD/OS is a commercial, very very good
supported system.
> - Any other interesting tid-bits of info?
I have never seen a better support hotline and a more stable system...
This includes all the Unix workstations i worked with.
