FreeBSD is not a distribution of Linux: it's a separate operating system, descended from one of the branches of Unix - the OS, originally from Bell Labs, which has sired many others and inspired many more, including Linux. There is a lot more to Unix and Unix-like operating systems - even just the freely-available ones - than only Linux. Jonathan
