Well Keith will probably post something on this, but I'll put a note in just in case he's busy ... :-) We're in the process of BETA testing our second release of 2.10BSD. This release includes several bug fixes, some of the final things missing from the first release (fortran, lpr come to mind), and completely reworked networking. The networking has been moved to superviso space which solves many of the space problems that people have been having. The new networking is also a *lot* more stable than the networking in our first release. We're shooting for the end of July as our release target. This means that it will probably be available from USENIX somewhere around the middle of August if tape copying goes smoothly.
