Lines: 8 Message-ID: <45umld$cs5@delphi.cs.ucla.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: flamingo.cs.ucla.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] In recent times, Linux has amassed quite a following. Would someone please comment on the pros/cons of choosing Linux over FreeBSD for the Intel chip? I am not a UNIX guru & I am debating whether it is worth-while to give an old 386 new life with a minimal (<80MB) UNIX installation. Thanks. (email responses are prefered.) Mayur (mpatel@cs.ucla.edu)
