Hi all!
Multiple BSD's left me w/
my head spinning....awk! Snip! that's
better.
>PS: Sheesh the FreeBSD people are always jumping
around saying, "Can't
>get Linux to work? Try FreeBSD!"

Arg...that kinda hurts. :)
Linux only has
a few stable kernels and Slackware uses them.
they all run the same kernal and to a great extent the
same software.
Yes to a point, Redhat uses RPM to assist installation, others
(mostly) uses standard slackware installation/setup format.
I'm not sure if redhat makes of the s/w from other places other than
redhat especially with that installation or loading them onto hd.
Good info... snip!
Realistically the two are basically the same, on the
topic of documentation
is about the only real difference. You can find a ton of books specific to
Linux, as far as I know the only BSD 4.4 specific books are the Berkley
docs that Linux printed.
I find OpenBSD of intrest because it's purpose is to be multiplatform,
however, I think the total USENET traffic for it is less than
comp.os.linux.announce
I've got to agree with the comment that Linux is great for running
emulators. I'm still looking for a PDP-11 of my own, but in the mean time
I can play with the PDP-11 emulator under Linux and run stuff like RT-11 or
Version 5 UNIX.
