Hi, we generally follow the Wikipedia style for Talk: pages: i) use a section header, and ii) sign all comments using the MediaWiki '''<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>''' special form, which turns into a sig and a timestamp. (See the end of this entry to see how it looks. Yes, the information is all available through the 'history' tab, but after a while it can be work to figure out who wrote what. See [[Help talk:Introduction to Categories]] for an example of how these suggestions make Talk: pages easier to follow.)

Use of the 'Show preview' button allows you to see how your formatting will look without filling the article history with a lot of minor updates. Thanks! [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 11:27, 20 March 2023 (CET)

4.x BSD

Hello and welcome! I also have a bit of an interest in the 4.x BSD series. I managed to follow the instructions in MIT's Chaosnet patch set for 4.1BSD, and I'm currently trying to make 4.3BSD and X10 talk to an emulated VAXstation 100. I have ready to run disk images in http://lars.nocrew.org/tmp/Chaotic-4.1BSD.tar.bz2 and https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/prebuilt-emulator-images-with-interesting-software-installed

Talk page formatting

Hi, we generally follow the Wikipedia style for Talk: pages: i) use a section header, and ii) sign all comments using the MediaWiki ~~~~ special form, which turns into a sig and a timestamp. (See the end of this entry to see how it looks. Yes, the information is all available through the 'history' tab, but after a while it can be work to figure out who wrote what. See Help talk:Introduction to Categories for an example of how these suggestions make Talk: pages easier to follow.)

Use of the 'Show preview' button allows you to see how your formatting will look without filling the article history with a lot of minor updates. Thanks! Jnc (talk) 11:27, 20 March 2023 (CET)
