This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------4300702AF26D571699E9441E Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ibm862 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I think the subject speaks for itself. Has any one done a "blow by blow" comparison? As a Unix/Linux "newbie" with 28 years of programming experience on a variety of platforms, I haven't been able to get any sense on this subject, beyond the suspicion that the "difference" seems to have more to do with Unix politics than Unix technical issues. I intend to use Linux/Unix as a development platform and also as a "home user system" in place of OS/2, which seems to be dying ... (I never liked MS Windows as far back as 2.11; the present offerings are not that impressive.) I have "tried" three different Linux distributions; the differences are for most part installation time cosmetics. Beyond that, the command line is the command line, X is X and so on. Why should I try FreeBSD? --------------4300702AF26D571699E9441E Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=ibm862; name="vcard.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Daniel Feiglin Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="vcard.vcf" begin: vcard fn: Daniel Feiglin n: Feiglin;Daniel org: Dilog Computers Ltd. adr: POB 36;;;Shavei Shomron, Mobile Post;;44858;ISRAEL email;internet: dilogsys@inter.net.il tel;work: 972 9 861 6204 tel;fax: 972 9 862 1052 tel;home: 972 9 832 0939 x-mozilla-cpt: ;0 x-mozilla-html: FALSE version: 2.1 end: vcard --------------4300702AF26D571699E9441E-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
