Message-ID: <646@fjcp60.GOV> Date: 26 May 94 13:05:56 GMT Followup-To: comp.os.linux.misc Organization: Federal Judicial Center, Washington, D.C. Lines: 14 I would like to know a little about the history of these two different free unix variants. Did they start from common roots and split, or are they more different than that? Why should I choose one or the other? What are the differences in features or performance? I asked these questions with a different subject line and different wording a week or so ago, and got some linux information sent to me via email, but no comparative information, so I am trying again. If this is likely to create a flame war, or has in the past, email would suffice. Thanks for humoring me :-). -- Rich Goldschmidt: uunet!fjcp60!golds or golds@teo.ao.gov Commercialization of space is the best way to escape the zero-sum economy.
