                     87: period. This book covers the 4.4 and 4.4-Lite releases, and discusses
                     88: everything you wanted to know about how the system operates.  Not
                     89: 100% applicable, but probably the closest there is to an overall
                     90: system internals manual for OpenBSD.

                     98: <dd>
                     99: The Jolitzes built the first port of BSD to the PC-386 architecture,
                    100: and deserve a lot of credit for making BSD portable to this low-cost
                    101: architecture. The earliest versions, called "386bsd", were described
                    102: in articles in <EM>Dr. Dobbs Journal</EM>. This book goes beyond the articles,
                    103: and provides a comprehensive annotated collection of source code.
                    104: Not all of it applies to modern versions of OpenBSD, of course, but
                    105: you can still learn a lot from it.
