As a matter of interest, for those bsd-addicts that want to take advantage
of the great HP coup ("Las viboras"), there are 3 (THREE) different
sources of BSD for HP iron:
University of Utah
Mt. Xinu (in Berkeley)
Computer Systems Research Group at UC Berkeley
I have used both UU's and Mt. Xinu's versions without any problems.
CSRG is working on a 4.4bsd version.
