Hi, If you have the funds to actually purchase a cdrom distribution I would purchase the full distribution from Walnut creek. Because it supports the Freebsd project. Now about the question off witch OS is better quite honestly I couldn't say ... Linux,FreeBSD,OpenBSD and NetBSD they all have their stong and weak points. The only way to find out what OS and distribution you like best is to try them all for 6 Months and then deside. I personally Like FreeBSD for it's stability (servers), Linux for it's ease off use (Workstations), OpenBSD for security ( ideal for a Firewall ) and NetBSD for the small footprint ( Older Sun's like the 3/60). I also have SunOS on a 3/80 witch is good for learing the way Unix was in the early 80's ( The Sun 3/80's are a damn site better then the PC's from that time ) and I'm also getting Solaris and SCO openserver to play with and maybe a VAX if I can find one on the cheap. So for me the purchase off distributions is out off the question I try to get them off the net or at 10 - 20 USD for the commercial OS's.. Michael --- Michael C. Vergallen A.k.A.
