BSD is more BSD, Linux is more sysV,
BSD starts with a B, Linux with an L,
BSD can run on PCs, Linux too.
If you want more details, do the following thing:
- install one of them, play with it during a month
- delete all
- install the other, play with it during a month
- delete all <--- very important
choose the one you want.
- install it and be happy.
I did the following :
- install X (1 month)
- install Y (3 days)
- install X again (2 months)
- install Z (more than a year)
Now I am running Z and I am very happy. Others are very happy to run X or Y.
ps : Don't forget to have a look at T.
I hope this help.
