Message-ID: <644@fjcp60.GOV> Date: 20 May 94 14:54:52 GMT Followup-To: comp.os.linux.misc Organization: Federal Judicial Center, Washington, D.C. Lines: 20 I am not trying to initiate a flame war, just gather some facts. I am curious about the differences between the free unix products, including: -- what kinds of boards and buses they support -- their relative stability -- the size of their user groups and distribution -- relative performance on ------ compute intensive tasks ------ multi-user load with many context switches ------ disk intensive tasks -- support for DOS and/or Windows without reboot? -- and any other differences which would have an obvious impact on the user as opposed to the developer/maintainer Has anybody done a feature matrix comparing these operating systems? Thanks. -- Rich Goldschmidt: uunet!fjcp60!golds or golds@teo.ao.gov Commercialization of space is the best way to escape the zero-sum economy.
