Cc: sos@FreeBSD.org, current@FreeBSD.org In-reply-to: Your message of Thu, 21 Mar 1996 10:32:01 PST Date: Thu, 21 Mar 1996 11:43:43 -0700 From: Warner Losh Sender: owner-current@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk : The strength of BSD over Linux for most users is /not/ the kernel. : Most Linux users are quite happy with their ugly mess of a kernel, : and would find our kernel far inferior (what? config(1)? what's that?). I hate the Linux config system, but their X gui thing is kinda cool. I wish that I could have released OI on FreeBSD, since I had a crude config tool there that made config(1)able files. The tool is, alas, long since gone due to job changes. : Our strength is the consistency of our kernel and binaries working : together in harmony, forming a unified front that will crush the : geneticly impure Linux systems. All we need is living room! That goes without saying. The person that I talked to about this was interested in testing out FreeBSD in a low impact way as a transient step to the greater goal of replacing the Linux machine with a FreeBDS one. I'm going to have to try this when I get my new SuSE Linux CDroms in a few days. Evidentally, they have a complete ELF system on them. :-) Warner
