I was thinking to install an unix for the PC. Is really Linux the best unix at the PC or is it just the most spread unix? IF, which is the best version? Slackware? Redhat? Deberian? FreeBSD has fast memory handling, fast swap.. ? NetBSD works on many machines and they implement only things that works on all machines and only solutions that are technical "nice" .. = I like that, but the NetBSD team hasn't fixed all security problems. (I'm running NetBSD 1.2 at my Amiga 3000.) It have OpenBSD, but I don't know anyone that runs OpenBSD. And a member of the OpenBSD team writed a lot of junk in a newsgroup so I don't want to run their Unix ;) Which is the best free Unix for PC? I don't know... _/\_ AMiGA 3000*2, SUN*4, HP3000, C64, C128d _/\_ AmigaOS, SunOS, NetBSD \/ email: peter.magnusson@mbox300.swipnet.se \/ irc: iocc
