Linux, like FreeBSD, is supposed to be PC UN*X. if that is the case, then why does linux not use a standard unix file system? I have used both Linux and Freebsd, and prefer FreeBSD (that's just personal, my roommate prefers linux), and both have their plusses and minuses. If my understanding is correct, the FBSD UFS is the Berkeley Fast File System? Jamie I spent yesterday thinking about the tomorrow that is today.
