FreeBSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have the Linux Slackware version 3.0 installation disks downloaded onto my PC. I heard about FreeBSD and was wondering what were the differences? I searched the web page for information... some sort of comparison, but was unable to find such an item. I am an undergraduate computer science major at Temple University... I work mostly on Digital Unix and SunOS... I don't know the differences between different versions of UNIX... I just know I have to change the syntax for some commands when on different servers. later will p.s. I had Linux successfully installed on my machine... but was using a bootable floppy... I was not fond of the idea of writing over a Win95 MBR... or such like. wrickard@thunder.ocis.temple.edu http://thunder.ocis.temple.edu/~wrickard
