They are both derrived from the BSD 4.4 lite releases from the Computer Science Research Group (CSRG) at the University of California, Berkeley. There is a certain ammount of co-operation between the two groups, but for the most part we do separate development, and as a result our source trees have diverged. FreeBSD can, however, run binaries from BSD/OS. > 2. Does the FreeBSD-kernel support multicast routing? Does the (latest) > package contain "mrouted"? Yes on both counts. Multicast transmission / reception is enabled by default. You will need to compile a new kernel with ``options MROUTING'' and run mrouted if you want to actually have a multicast router. > 3. Is Motif available to FreeBSD (XFree86)? Yes. There are several different Motif versions for FreeBSD. I believe that several people recomment the one released by X Inside, Inc (http://www.xinside.com/) Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
