Lines: 16 Message-ID: <39tu2u$o8r@styx.uwa.edu.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: uniwa.uwa.edu.au X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I'm thinking of setting up a network of 386s, with a large number of external modem lines. At this stage, I'm undecided between 386BSD and Linux. Having seen the results of the Linux vs Netware flame-fest, I'd have to agree that a more open architecture is definitely the go (see what it did for IBM (resulting in quite nice add-on cards, and continuing improvement) and that smashing game, Doom. Without wanting to start a flame-war here, what are the comparative advantages and disadvantages of both systems? What would you people suggest is the best OS for my needs? -- _--_|\ -- Peter Caffin <ptcaffin@uniwa.uwa.edu.au>: ------------------ / \ "Welcome to the Microsoft Windows operating system, soft- X_.--._/ ware that makes your computer easier and more fun to use" ------- v -- (_Getting Started With Microsoft Windows_, 1992, p.ix). ----
