I'm an intermediate-knowledge user of Linux and a curious, general observer of the Unix world, and I've recently stumbled upon a lot of BSD stuff (and have even recently read "The Design and Implementation of the BSD 4.4 Operating System"), but I'm really dying to know something, and was wondering if you could take just a minute to answer my question: What the heck is the difference between FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSDi and NetBSD???? Are these more-or-less the same operating systems with similar goals, but for various reason the different groups didn't want to work together? Or, are each of these BSD "flavors" actually geared toward different markets and different uses? Or something else? - Dying of curiosity in Seattle - Download NeoPlanet at http://www.neoplanet.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
