Steiger) Subject: Free UNIX FAQ? Message-ID: <1995Jan10.195454.25138@penny.cs.fredonia.edu> Sender: news@penny.cs.fredonia.edu (News Administrator) Organization: Math / CS, State Univ. of N. Y. College at Fredonia X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Date: Tue, 10 Jan 1995 19:54:54 GMT Lines: 22 Is there a FAQ somewhere which compares Linux and NetBSD? I have seen a couple of people ask which is better, who recieved responses along the lines of "they are so alike, it doesn't really matter", but I'm looking for some specific contrasts. Like, does NetBSD handle TCP/IP better than Linux? Does Linux kick NetBSD's butt as far as data communications is concerned? etc... Surely there must be parts of one OS that is better than the corresponding part in the other OS? I know that Linux is growing at an astounding rate, and updates to the kernel are many and often. I don't know *anything* about NetBSD though. I just need a FAQ, or e-mail or responses here comparing the two OS's. Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
