I remember the 386 version of BSD about the same time as Linux was almost, but not quite, usable. I ran BSDI stuff from 1992 til Plan 9 was released in 1995. Before that I ran my port of V7 with streams and my version of TCP running on Motorola 68K VME boards. I don't think there was any waiting going on.
