What you are looking for is NetBSD.
Maybe. In particular, if you want 386 support, you'll be stuck with
older versions. (Mind you, I personally don't see anything wrong with
that; I run 1.4T on those of my machines which don't need something
newer for hardware-support reasons.)
\begin{troll}
NetBSD is the reference implementation of The Unix Paradigm.
Troll indeed. :-)
I'd say it _once was_ the reference etc. It's been headed downhill for
a long time, though; I now see it as trying to take on Linux at its own
game (desktop market share), and, of course, losing - and, in the
process, alienating the user base its former strengths attracted.
