I have been fiddling with linux for the last week or so trying var realeases
and patches and just all around fiddling and have a few questions about the 
differences between FreeBSD/Net/386Bsd and Linux SLS or Slackware Dists....

(1) Will *BSD run my Sony CDROM drive (its the Internal one with its own
adapter 15something I think.... Cant remember dont have it here...) I know
there are patches for linux to use it...

(2) What are some peoples observances about the differences (people who have
tried both please)

Thanks for your time, please reply through Email if you could as it is hard
to keep up with Comp.os386bsd* as well as comp.os.linux* thanks in advance
