Hi there.  After  a great many annoying probs on my Linux Box [ most of 
which are problems specific to the Slackware-reliese of Linux ], I am
obliged to pose the following question:

Has anyone here used both 386bsd AND Linux? Which did they prefer?
This question will also be posted in the Linux newsgroup, to get both
sides of the coin ;^).

My main experience has been on Sun IV OS.  All else being equal, the one
that most closely resembles SUN IV wins.  Linux is system V [bleh], but 
has a lot of developed aplications for it.
