Could someone do a 1 liner or maybe a 2 liner of what each of following ARE, and why you would/wouldnt use each: BSDI 386BSD FreeBSD NetBSD I gather they are all BSD like systems. In fact I have 386Bsd 0.1 up on a machine here. But its difficult to figure out what I should try to run as a normal platform for my systems. Just when I think I should look at NetBSD, someone posts something making it seem like its not as complete as 386bsd, etc so on. Thanks! - Shawn
