I have been using Linux (Slackware) for a number of years on my desktop, and have never used BSD. From what I've gathered, BSD sounds like the kind of OS I would like. I Now need to get a laptop, and have been thinking of getting a new Mac Ibook, but OS 10 seems to lack some important features I want/need, like virtual terminals, things I have grown quite used to. Would BSD be a good choice for the iBook as the third OS (along with OS9 and OS10)? How much can BSD share things like utilities and config files with OS10? Is there any special compatability due to the OSs being similar in some ways? How should I plan my BSD intallation? Any special advantage of having BSD on a Mac with OS10, as compared to Linux Slackware? -- David Hunt <dh@huntbros.net> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
