Maybe you could whip up a quick FreeBSD tutorial? :) I've always wanted to try it.

Very similar to unix? You arent that familiar w/ unix are you? It _is_ unix. unix comes in different flavors. AT&T and BSD were the first. Linux is also a type of unix. While not identical in operation or in focus, they are all unix. google for 'unix hostory".

and as for the tutorial, installing it on a bp6 is no different than any other mobo. making a paper on it would be redundant. groups.google.com is your friend.

Depends what you consider unix to be. By the stricktest definition, it's only Bell Lab's UNIX, the rest are just look/work-alikes. By the most liberal definition even WinNT is unix.

In all honesty there are two lines of unix that I consider valid, the BSD's and SysV derivatives. Linux is a mish-mash of concepts and really doesn't fit well in either category. Until it's standardized linux will be what GNU admits it to be: a non-unix.

snugglebear is correct. What I meant was more in the direction of the end user experience. However in taking any of these OS's apart you see their origins, which is the *unix* that came from Bell. At some point the modifications to the original make it a different animal. You bring up NT and its' kind of funny. I have read about NT's history before and saw some comments about it and some UNIX infuence. Soon after that I got a funny error installing NT4 one time in the DOS part of the install. it was something to the effect of:

internal hardware error: device /dev/cdrom/

yes this _was_ in NT.

NT is a decent OS. For workstations it's pretty good. Still don't trust it for servers, but then I'm paranoid.
