(I think you meant 1GB up there. :-) ) yes, BSD and SysV are _very_ different, in fact two disjunct branches of UNIX. the best place for info on FreeBSD is the web site: http://www.freebsd.org. Under "Documentation" is the Handbook, which is the somewhat comperhensive manual, as well as a book list of recommended titles. I think you may be interested in some of the 4.4BSD manuals. > We have received from another friend a CD with LINUX SlackWare and we are > in front of the question about which of them (LINUX or FreeBSD) will meet > our requirements here. Which of them is better? I want to have a detailed > comparisson between them. Opinions vary as much as computers do here :-) Poke through the -questions archive on the above web site. Also, there is a Usenix paper that looks at solaris X86, linux, and FreeBSD that is available at http://plastique.standford.edu. (I think) Hope this helps.
