Recently discovered BSD from using MacOSX. And suddenly become quite interested in Unix / C programming. Feel that had actually gone one big round.....suddenly got a feeling that something that can last so long must be real good... Just wonder, how much similarity between the MacOSX and FreeBSD?? as it was claimed that latest macos is actually based on Unix. It seems to me that with FreeBSD, I could make an Intel m/c running pentium II to be as powerful as the state of the art pentium m/c running the latest version of Windows. Is that true?? Please pardon me if I sounded so ignorant.... thank you. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
