I realize that Sun is commercial, but is the "flavor" really different than the others? I gather than 386BSD is for 80x86 microprocessors and that "Free" means free, but what are some other differences in these? If it's any help, I'm a C programmer (mainly Mac stuff). By the way, is there a Mac BSD for Quadras? Thanks! Spencer -- Spencer Low | Creators of MaxRAM!!
