Date: 3 Sep 1993 18:49:34 GMT Organization: University of Massachusetts, Amherst Lines: 26 Message-ID: <2683ju$k15@nic.umass.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: twain.ucs.umass.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL0] I have been fiddling with linux for the last week or so trying var realeases and patches and just all around fiddling and have a few questions about the differences between FreeBSD/Net/386Bsd and Linux SLS or Slackware Dists.... (1) Will *BSD run my Sony CDROM drive (its the Internal one with its own adapter 15something I think.... Cant remember dont have it here...) I know there are patches for linux to use it... (2) What are some peoples observances about the differences (people who have tried both please) Thanks for your time, please reply through Email if you could as it is hard to keep up with Comp.os386bsd* as well as comp.os.linux* thanks in advance -- NR -- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Your .sig power has been revoked due to expiration of license.
