hey there don't feel so down. UNIX is an operating system that was developed by Bell Labs back in the day. As time went on more and more features and software were added to it like the x-window. Today UNIX has evolved in FreeBSD which uses the original System V shell, Solaris, Linux, and a few other flavors. Enough with the history lesson. With UNIX u can program ,network, sendmail, set up firewalls, and much more. u can run UNIX through telnet, like i am doing right now, or install one of the UNIX flavors on your computer. a few good books are unix in a nutshell and unix power tools from o'reilly. hope this helps. ---------- cache_money news for FreeBSD, stuff that really matters On Tue, 6 Mar 2001, Super Saijin wrote: > Ok, I just read a million tutorials.
