There really isn't a 'correct' operating systerm - I would think the BSD license would be a major advantage in the embedded world. > FreeBSD run on any hardware besides x86? Alpha and x86 (http://www.freebsd.org) > Do we have to share with the world the source Nope. Many choose to, but the license says you can lock away the source if you want. The GNU license is very different, though - you'll have to make source available, if you distribute modified sources/binaries. With regard to the versions of Kerberos and Bind, I would suggest you either (a) install a machine and check, or (b) look at cvsweb on http://www.freebsd.org __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
