I hate to be a smart *** but i just had to ask this... if this is called just linux, then why do you have a unix category?


Stupid question recieves stupid answer.

Though I'll get flogged for this, operation of FreeBSD is pretty similar to Linux with a few quirks just to throw you off.

Most Windows based sites have atleast a forum dedicated to alternative OSes.

I guess because they're unix-like too?

I think it's just there so that we can all laugh and point at people who post there.

Bah. Reminds me of the typical Slashdot "FreeBSD is dead" trolls that are so common these days.

You would be suprised at the similarities between Linux and the other Unix based operating systems. With the newer versions of Linux doing an auto install for you,it helps to have some info from the other types of unix based OS's when something goes haywire. They are remarkable the same as to way they operate and configure to your computer. I work with IRIX, Lynx and windows based systems. As well as Linux and Windows systems at home on my home network
