I currently run OS/2, and NT server 4.0. I am very interested in Unix and have some
questions for anyone who might be able to help.

1. How much does BSDI run for the OS?
2. Does a version of X-Windows come with the base OS?
3. What other GUI programs of interest (if any ) are included?
4. Is full support for TCP/IP ,PPP etc included in the base?
5. Is the Gateway server software included in the base?
6. Most important are the following:

1. Is there a published list of compatible hardware?
2. Does Berkley have a home page for BSDI with general Q&A.

If anyone has time to spend on this, please send any help to
