At Wed, 26 Jun 2002 it looks like David Kramer composed: > I'm Associate Director at the Boston Linux and UNIX group > (http://www.blu.org) (we also cover *BSD, but you can only make the name > so long ;). Our last meeting was about UNIX standards, and this was a > very hot topic at that meeting. Thank you for having a computer group that covers the full picture. I was a journeyman machinist prior to leaping into UNIX and the first thing (fatal_thing) I saw with my co-workers was their distribution-centric way of life. It was either Linux or nothing, FreeBSD or nothing, OpenBSD or nothing.....etc. I viewed Unix/Linux/FreeBSD as ONE UNIX ENGINE with some minor differences and if I were to just focus on one flavor then I'd limit my ability to Unix journeyman. Solaris was and is still TOUGH but it made me a better FreeBSD and Linux mechanic and I actually invested in a Ultra-10 for my home to just be more level in my endeavours. I actually use FreeBSD on a daily basis at my work along with Solaris boxes (Intel and Sparc) to keep fluent and I work at a Linux company !!!. In each OS I pick a different letter of the alphabet and in my shell (bash) I type the letter "a" and hit my tab key twice to list all the commands that start with "a" then start reading manpages. I do this with 3 xterms open to compare all listing of FreeBSD, Solaris, and Linux commands that start with "a" and that is what I do to TRY to be the best I can.
