Glidden" Subject: Considering FreeBSD Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am having trouble making things work on my Linux box like they do on the schools Solaris box. For instance when I do something simple like ls -d the only thing I get is . And when I try to add aliases to my .profile in my home directory, nothing works! I have never been able to get my 3Com pcimodem to work under Linux. Does FreeBSD have these same problems? Also, does FreeBSD have a dual-boot utility like LILO, because until I get these problems worked out, I absolutely have to keep Windows running (which I would do anyway because I have 2 hds). Linux is just not behaving like Solaris! Help! Jesse O.
