Is there a comparison document  between netBSD,  freeBSD,  and linux?  I  am
getting  to  be a  bit confused,  because from the   outside, they seem very
similar.  (Can  any of them  use my NeXTStep file system?  That would make a
difference.  Are  hardware    drivers different?   Again,  a  1600*1200*72Hz
resolution would be a big plus. etc.)
