I'm looking to install a copy of BSD on a PC and a Sun Sparc workstation. I thought there was only one type of BSD but I have since found that there are three types, Free BSD, Open BSD and Net BSD. What is the difference between these systems? Which BSD will be best for a PC and which for a Sun Sparc? If I install one version on the Sparc and another on the PC will they still be able to network OK? -- Ping Crosby To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
