Most Linux users are running on low-cost Intel-based PCs. If you're in this category, then FreeBSD is probably best, as it generally has the best support for Intel PC hardware. Other than Intel, FreeBSD also supports the Alpha, so it might also suit you if you if you have an Alpha. If you're running Linux on something else, like a Mac or a Sparc, then you'll need either OpenBSD or NetBSD. > and which is the difference between this 3 very good Product. Very briefly, with great over-simplification: FreeBSD's strength is performance. OpenBSD's strength is security. NetBSD's strength is portability. But really this question cannot be answered completely, and the answer changes over time. The best approach is to determine your requirements and try to work out which one fits best. -- Lachlan O'Dea <mailto:lodea@vet.com.au> Computer Associates Pty Ltd Webmaster Vet - Anti-Virus Software http://www.vet.com.au/ "Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion.
