Cc: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD isn't Linux, and isn't related to the Linux project. FreeBSD is unix or at least it's roots are unix based, Linux is unix-like. The BSD project also predates the beginning of the linux project. If you are considering installing either FreeBSD or Linux, a good rule of thumb is linux for the desktop and freebsd as a server, although I like freebsd as a desktop machine and linux has been successfully used as low traffic servers. regards rob On 18-Jan-99 Carnick, John M wrote: > Please tell me if FreeBSD is a flavor of LINUX? > _ > > John Carnick > EDS/GRM/MOP LAN/WAN SUPPORT > 1350 John R. > Troy, MI 48083 > (248) 577-7391 (8-353) > E-Mail:_ john.carnick@eds.com > ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Rob S Date: 18-Jan-99 Time: 14:45:31 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
