Look, folks, regardless of the merits of a side-by-side comparison of operating systems (I personally think they are a Good Thing), it has been PROVEN time and again that it is IMPOSSIBLE to do this impartially over USENET. Some little fact is wrong or presented in such a way that some acolyte of one OS faith becomes mortally offended, etc. etc. About this time, I think there needs to be two new newsgroups: alt.os.linux.comparison.with.386bsd and alt.os.386bsd.comparison.with.linux. Then the people who CARE to hear the senseless dribble that comes of this can go and leave the rest of us alone. -- David Giller, Box 134 | Q: How many Oregonians does it take to screw in a light Occidental College | bulb? A: Three. One to replace the bulb, and two to 1600 Campus Road | fend off all the Californians trying to share the Los Angeles, CA 90041 | experience. ---------------------------rafetmad@oxy.edu
