Well... keep it simple: BSD is on the traditional side of Unix.
Linux... is on the "cool" side.
The kernel, which has nothing to do with the home user and rather with
the server admin, is better. But Linux is catching on.

Is anyone able to compare (say) Slackware Linux with any other UNIX clones
such as FreeBSD ?

I usually ignore these threads, but this one is starting to get an
unpleasant tone, so let me try to encourage the proponents of the various
distros to moderate their insistance before we get to a flame war.
For the record, I like Debian. It is also, by now, the only full-size
distro I feel to

Matt,
I have been a system admin for 9+ years now but that has been in an NT
environment. Although I do have one Linux server at work, it has a very
small task. My work has not embraced Linux at all although over the last two
years I find most of the "Major" new systems from the Corp.

I understand what your saying, I'm the exact same way, as I'm still new to
the whole admin thing. Red Hat and Mandrake still offer this. When I
referred to the "windows" like env. I was talking about the window
managers. And RH and Mandrake come with many different window managers,
gnome, kde, ect
Say someone, like myself, did not like windows and wanted a more Unix
type experience or environment. Would you suggest Debian or Slackware?
I actually want to try to learn about the system and not just point and
click.

Well as a UNIX/linux systems admin. I am forced to work with just about
every possible distribution out there, so I'll throw out a couple
ideas. My first two suggestions would be for Red Hat or Mandrake. These

Hello,
I have tried several of the major distributions on my PC over the years.
But I am by no means an expert at using UNIX/Linux. I want some advice
on the pros and cons of the various distributions. Possibly any replies
to this could be aimed at Redhat, Slackware, Debian, SUSE, Mandrake etc
