[talk] October 2019 Ori Bernstein talk options

[Robert Menes]

My votes are on Option 2 and Option 4.

I know other Unix-likes are not exactly BSD oriented, but it's always
interesting to hear how all of these OSes influenced one another in some
way or form.

As for an installfest, I'm most certainly down for one still. I've got some
gear to try installs on (probably not gonna dig the Dreamcast out though).
