I happen to be trying to decide between the two at the moment. I like Linux for all the usual reasons, but I heard a rumour that BSD Unix systems can all use the same binaries. If this is true it would be a great factor in my decision. Can anyone provide an answer please? If this is not true, then what is BSD Unix as opposed to 'normal' Unix? Staf
