FreeBSD works just fine on alpha (I'm typing this on an alpha box running X). I use Linux and FreeBSD for programming and they both support the same set of apis so there is little difference. The glibc library is certainly not needed for FreeBSD since we have a perfectly good libc of our own, thank you. As far as usability goes, I actually think FreeBSD has the edge due to the excellent ports collection. > > Linux fan. FreeBSD fan. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
