OpenBSD and NetBSD are very close cousins, and run on various platforms (68k, Sun, ... and PC) FreeBSD runs esentially on PC hardware (and has more drivers for PC peripherals) it should be easier to install ===> recommended choice on a PC TfH ____________________________ Séparateur Réponse ________________________________ Objet : info.. Auteur : kutta@leland.Stanford.EDU Date : 29/05/98 09:54 I am about to install my first freeBSD installation on my pc but I am puzzled by seeing other "free" bsd OS's around... for instance, there is the NetBSD and the OpenBSD... and there is the 4.4 BSD Lite... Who knows what else is there. Can you explain to me the difference between them (not the tedious technical details though) and are they in fact very closely related??? Which one is the best to get and what are the strengths?? Thanks..
