Hello BSD users,
I have been using Linux and I would like to try BSD as well.
I have several questions.
1. I could not see the X windows system in the ftp sites on BSD?
Is it included in the bindist or srcdist?
Or how can I get it separately? where?
2. I figure out that the size of BSD is something larger the Linux
, is it due to share libraries used in linux? Is there share
library support in BSD? If there ftp site where I can obtain
library and app (including X) using share library?
3. Lastly, If there is someone using both system, could you tell
the network performance of both, how they compare?
Most important, no flame please. Just want some of you opinion.
Thanks
