Dear Friends,

Sorry if it is not for this newsgroup, but I did not find anything in the
FAQs or news. Please let me know if this post is not appropriate for this 
newsgroup.

You know, it is too hard to live without Unix at home, so now I am trying 
to make a major choice for my home PC based system. Do you have any 
arguments about Linux vs. 386BSD? 

Which one is easier to manage/port software to. Which one needs more memory?
Do you have an experience working with both?

I worked on ***xes quite a while, but all my sysadmin experience includes 
three months of SCO Unix on my previous PC, and it was quite interesting 
(especially when I removed /dev/null and tried to figure out what was wrong;)

Thank you.
