- Although I use UNIX at work everyday, I am interested in tinkering with
- UNIX at home. It seems like 386BSD or Linux would fit my modest needs.
- I have been reading comp.unix.bsd and comp.os.linux for about a month;
- both groups seem to be very active and doing an excellent job of
- porting software and providing support to users. But I have wondered
- why there are two efforts to provide a free UNIX...is it just coincidence
- that two groups developed a distribution at about the same time? or did
- they have different goals? or is this a BSD vs. System-V thing?
- Without starting a flame war or anything like that, I would appreciate
- hearing about the major differences between BSD and Linux.
