But remember these very important differences. Linux is just a UNIX-like kernel (written from the ground up by Linus Torvalds) and a collection of programs included with whatever distribution you get (Slackware, Redhat, Debian, etc.) Most of these tools are GNU. Remember, GNU's Not UNIX! FreeBSD *IS* UNIX. It is based on 4.4BSD-Lite, code developed from the original Berkeley UNIX. (One of the two major branches of UNIX, the other being AT&T.)
