Hi people!
I wonder what is the relation between the BSDI and FreeBSD Unix versions?
Is the BSDI a commercial version of FreeBSD (like Caldera/Linux), another
product, same/better/worse product with support, result of product
divergence or what? Is it developed by the same team?
Which is better (features, stability)?
The problem is: the university here has the enterprise license for BSDI.
Should we use it for the department's Internet server we are putting
together or stick to FreeBSD (2.1)?
Any hints will be appreciated.

          Thank you               Genie
