I have seen references to FreeBSD but I had not really taken time to look into it. Can I use Linux code and recompile it on FreeBSD and it work? Is the code base as large as Linux? Sorry to keep refering to Linux, it is how I got started with "Open Source" and I know very little other than it. Is there a FreeBSD vs. Linux document on the internet, or something to help me learn by compairing what I know about Linux to the unknown of FreeBSD? Something to point out the strengths and weaknesses of each. Thanks, John Baxter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
