Like Roger Irwin, I was not even aware of picoBSD. Having read through the FreeBSD information and the picoBSD site I was impressed by the level of clear and concise documentation. I have been using Redhat Linux for some time and will admit that I sometimes get confused with the different variants of Linux and the different ways things are done (e.g. Caldera). In this respect the FreeBSD solution is extremely well documented in the "FreeBSD Handbook". I have been looking at experimenting with an embedded solution and started using the Linux Router Project as a starting point. The Embedded Linux Project looks very much in its infancy and there is not much information present. I basically want to run an embedded Java system. Does anyone have any suggestions ? regards Chris -- Chris Avis (c.avis@rama-tech.com) _--_|\ RAMA Technologies Pty Ltd, 28 Walters Drive / \ Osborne Park, Western Australia 6017, Australia \_.--._/ Tel: +61 8 9445 7999 Fax: +61 8 9445 7666 v http://www.rama-tech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
