(i.e. run on Pentium) 1) Are Linux and BSD Unix free software?? If not, what do I need to pay (i.e. royalty if you in commercial purpose), and how much? 2) Are source code easily available for Linux & BSD Unix? Where can I get them? 3) What sort of devices drivers do Linux & BSD Unix support? (i.e. serial com port, X.25, etc). 4) I am thinking of choosing an Unix OS (I.e. Linux & BSD Unix) for my Pentium PC for a commercial project, any comments on the advantages / disavantages are welcomed. Thank. 5) What is freebsd? Is that a free Unix? Thank very much
