Hi folks.
We are trying to decide whether to go with linux or 386bsd for
our 486 machines. Particular constraints are:
We don't have a lot of disk space.
We need X11.
We don't have a lot of memory per machine.
We don't have cd roms
Any information on the relative strengths/weaknesses of these
two systems would be a big help. Please email info to harm@morue.usc.edu
Thanks much!
