I was told by someone who had not tried *BSD
that Linux can behave like Sun OS which was based on BSD.
Similarly with Ultrix. I believe it is a matter of degree of similarity.
From a previous post, I was given the impression that we need to set BSD
in order to compile easily for Linux.
Is it possible that the presence of FFS and vfork is contributing to the
similarity of FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 with Ultrix?
SABAH is HEAVEN.
If you are born in 1958, you'll cherish beautiful
beaches, corals and mountains very near to civilisations,
BUT will it last for my children?
