Well, you don't have much choice with Amigas: FreeBSD doesn't run on them. As for PCs, *of course* FreeBSD is better :-) Seriously, the differences are small but could be significant. > If I want to built a small local net of Computers > would it be better to take NetBSD because there is > the netsupport build in or is it equal? Both systems have pretty much the same network support. The "Net" in "NetBSD" refers to the Internet, not networking support. I don't think there's much difference between the two, but others may know better. > Maybe you can give me some informations. Martin Cracauer has done a web page on the differences between FreeBSD and NetBSD. It's very much a personal viewpoint, and I don't agree with everything he says, but it might give you a feeling of what the differences are like. I believe it's at http://www.leo.org/pub/comp/os/bsd/cracauer/, but he was going to change it. I also believe that it is available both in English and German; this is the German version. You should be able to find the English version easily enough from this point of view. Greg
