Hiya Aaron; regarding you question; you find alot people which either run *BSD ( FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD ) or Linux ( Red Hat Linux, Slackware 3.4, Debian etc. etc ) system. Currently all are good, But *BSD's are based after 4.4BSD UNIX well Linux is classified as POSIX OS. I used Red Hat Linux myself for some time, until a associate got me hooked on FreeBSD. Linux personally was designed for challenge hearted, kernals updates are released more, but drivers are not.. well *BSD's OS core of developers are spending more time on making it easy installation and releasing current drivers for hardware. Here are a couple of sites you can check.. http://www.freebsd.org <------ easy installation, for a new user to Unix. http://www.netbsd.org <------ installation challenge, once installed and reboot, your brought into single user mode, and have to change rc.conf using vi. (rc_configured="NO" to "YES") plus various other lines in rc.conf .. http://www.openbsd.org <------ same as a above http://www.linux.org <--- Installation varies, depending on linux OS. ( Red Hat Linux, Slackware 3.4, and debian are most common in use. ) I hope this helps, Good Luck.. Richard On Mon, 30 Mar 1998, Chris Carter wrote: > Hello, my name is Aaron.
