I currently use BSDI 2.0.1 and I've seen alot of talk about both 386BSD and FreeBSD. What I'm wondering is what are the differences among these different packages? How do they handle PPP connections or news or mail etc compared to the way that BSDI does? I'm thinking of adding either of these for secondary functions on my ISP service. I like BSDI alot, and I'm hoping that if I do try one of these systems out for say a mail server, that it won't be like stepping onto an entirely new planet. Any comments would be appreciated.
