Hi there. I'm hoping you can answer a couple of questions for a neophyte. I am going to school at De Vry in the CIS program and will be taking a C/UNIX course next trimester. My question is: Is FreeBSD better than LINUX? If so, in what ways? The way I want to use a UNIX type O/S is at work. We are using WIN95 right now for our Network and it's VERY slow. If I understand correctly, UNIX provides a much faster network environment. Is this true? We don't have a large network: A server/workstation and two more single workstations. Will most software made for UNIX work on both FreeBSD and LINUX? Is there more software available for FreeBSD than LINUX? I have a copy of LINUX right now and it seems rather difficult to work with. (Of course, some of it could be because I know virtually nothing about UNIX!) If these are dumb questions, please feel free to tell me so. If not, I would appreciate any information you could provide. Thanks, Ron Hagan Pro1@doitnow.com
