Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au ---------- From: Mike Theobald[SMTP:mwtheobald@iname.com] Sent: Sunday, 16 March 1997 7:34 To: rsacrack@vex.net Subject: [RSA] FreeBSD or Linux??? Since quite a few of the machines contributing to the Vex effort seem to be Unix boxes I thought I could ask this question here. If it's off topic too much, I apologize. I'm thinking of putting UN*X on my machine (P133 Intel) and was wondering what the pro's and con's were of the two big ones, FreeBSD and Linux. There are a heck of a lot of FreeBSD machines contributing to the vex effort and few Linux ones. Any reasons? Any advice of where to look for a comparison?
