I'm following suit for 4.4BSD as I've got The Design and Implementation
of the 4.4BSD Operating System book (ISBN: 0-201-54979-4) on my desk.
Sadly it seems as if 4.4BSD-Encumbered would be required to run it on a
VAX emulator and 4.4BSD-Lite is apparently non-starter.
I'm also wondering if 386BSD on a PC would be close enough. Though I
think that it, and it's ilk, is based on 4.3BSD Net/2. I don't know
what the effective differences will be. :-/
In some ways I sort of which I had picked up the 4.3BSD counterpart to
the book.
Which is why I went looking for SVR2
s/SVR2/4.4BSD/
I'm just a sucker for the closest experience I
can get without driving
myself off the rails trying to get things working.
