To muddy the waters a bit: SunOS 4.x (aka Solaris 1) is BSD. Some other commercial UNIXes are BSD derived. However, its too early for me to care about remembering which ones. You _CAN_ strip the BSD kernel from BSD and run it with a linux dist. See: http://www.debian.org/ports/netbsd/ for more info. Darrin Chandler spoke forth with the blessed manuscript: > The differences between BSDs aren't easy for me to explain briefly and > still do them justice. There are some common characterizations out > there such as OpenBSD is secure and NetBSD is portable, but OpenBSD is > almost as portable and NetBSD is pretty secure. While Linux is only the > kernel and the various distros make differing and complete systems, each > BSD is a complete integrated operating system. So you don't run *the* > BSD kernel and use the FreeBSD distro. Instead, you use FreeBSD which is > the whole tamale. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
