I bought an old PC of a friend (-bat from the UK FreeBSD list). I just knew I wanted a free Unix. He said "FreeBSD works flawlessly on these." THANK YOU, PETE! I now administer Red Hat as part of my work duties. It's stable, it's industrial strength, it does the job and by crikey it's a stupid incoherent ill-conceived pain in the backside. I may respect Linux, but I don't have to like it. (The GNU tools are lovely IMO. It's doing anything with the kernel. Why they couldn't come up with a simple and elegant idea like /etc/rc.conf ...) > > next stop OpenSolairs .. :-) I also admin Solaris. It too has its stupidities (mostly cruft from failed marketing initiatives - it's hard to be a good Solaris admin without knowing far too much Unix history), and the userland tools need to be replaced with GNU or FreeBSD equivalents, and it's sorely underoptimised for single-processor boxes. But it's industrial strength and very well documented. Of course, when I was learning Solaris, I tended to read the OpenBSD man pages to understand the command and the Solaris ones for the particular switches in that version ... - d. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
