I'm not disappointed about *BSD's hardware support. It runs on every 'standard' PC (i.e. if you don't use *rather* exotic hardware). >BTW-- if you want to learn UNIX then you go with FreeBSD. >Why?

I don't know about DG/UX, but HP-UX is a System V. And AIX? That seems to be its own thing :-) And if you want to learn about System V, Linux is *a bit* nearer to that than the free BSD's.
