So I guess we can say FreeBSD measures up in that respect. Integrated database capabilities? That's not what one would call handy... OpenGL is available under Linux and BSD as well. > Designed as an Internet NATIVE System, TCP/IP is the native Network Protocal > You could use it as a file server, built in mail, and WWW services, and has > Remote Acess Capabilities Thru Telnet. Ehm, ye might seem to forget that UNIX had these things for about 30 or so years now. And every thing ye named above is nowadays available on almost every platform. Even the Commodore 64 has a TCP/IP stack and browser. > The Be OS will work with any Intel Pentium Or Power PC (Mac) system!, then > To go one step farther.......

Linux and the BSD's (with Net being the real multi-architecture BSD) have ports to i386 and higher platforms, SPARC, Alpha, Amiga, MIPS, etc... Linux and FreeBSD (ans possibly the other BSD's) support ext2fs, AFS, UFS, FAT-12, FAT-16, FAT-32, NTFS (read only), and a bunch of others. > Support for Java, Has it's own replication software, AND, YES AND, UNIX/ > POSIX CAPABILITYS.... Etc, etc, Etc. So it's better, yet it's like UNIX? > I could go on and on.... and they only call the Be Os and "OS" not a "NOS"... > Shit man...... -:)))))))))) Obviously ye didn't pay attention to what BeOS does. Where's the security? BeOS doesn't ask for login/password in v3 and 4. So basically, as it is now, it is a single-user OS. > Forget most everything else this Os Will set the standard That All OTHERS > MUST follow. I don't think so Tim. BeOS was built very much from UNIX(-like) sources. The kernel is very much based on UNIX kernels. Btw, if ye are a troll or just someone who thinks he should spam lists with stuff like this, please make sure yer claims have solid ground.
