I've been using linux for some time and I feel I'd like to try
other unices and these two - FreeBSD and NetBSD - came to my mind
first. I hope I'm not totally wrong when posting to this group...
So, what are the diferences in getting them, copying policies,
hardware requirements, comparing running them as net servers and
as 'single' user workstations, ... thanks a LOT...
They're more alike than they are different. However, different design
philosophies have caused different things to be emphasized in their
evolution. Consult www.netbsd.org and www.freebsd.org for the start
of your search.
