The PC has a diverse and wide amount of peripherals available which needs to have driver support. FREEBSD is lacking in this arena while LINUX remains king with driver support. Documentation is also easily available and books are out there (LINUX BIBLE etc).. And if a bug is found with the kernel, it's bound to be fixed within a week (Kernel patches, upgrades come out almost every two weeks each one ussually adds a new driver to the kernel or support something new). FreeBSD, well you will be stuck for a while until they fix the bug when they release the next version. A UN*X like user group for CSCI students would be a very good idea, considering that most of these people want to program at home but can't because DOS is not a good operating system to program in (Endless reboots) and the compiler available are not free. Linux and FreeBSD both solve the problem but Linux is more of a candidate. As the PC's ussually have weird adapters that needs to be supported by the kernel. (This includes, SCSI CDROM's MITSUMI CDROM's, PANASONIC CDROM's, TEAC CDROM's, IDE CDROM's, ALL THE DIFFERENT VIDEO ADAPTERS FROM S3, WESTERN DIGITAL, ATI, CIRRUS LOGIC, AVANCHE LOGIC and more). I'd be willing to help. I have helped several people install Linux and three of them are from school. I would suggest contacting these people if you need more help (nwestfal (FREEBSD), mwestfal (LINUX)). BTW as for your MAC? Are you running AUX or System 7.X? Think of FreeBSD = NetBSD = BSD (as they are all related and using the same core). Linux is a POSIX compliant operating system.. You can consider linux as a hybrid between BSD and System V as a lot of the calls for both operating systems are implemented.

We will see how people respond. I hope so, a lot of people are asking me to help them out with LINUX and I just don't have the time as the installation is quite complex.

Linux is available in many many distributions and the most popular one seems to be the Slackware (newest version is 2.10) and another one is Plug and Play Yggdrasil (I spelled it wrong but it's quite hard to spell). Both are prominent and good releases of LINUX package. Slackware can be ftp'ed from ftp.cdrom.com (Ftp.cdrom.com is using FREEBSD with a Pentium 90 and 192 megs of RAM. Supports more than 400 simultaneous users at once (FTP user). Now that's something). /pub/linux/slackware Yggdrasil comes on CD's. > I like it!

Here's a happy Linux user.. If anybody wants to install Linux on their computer and needs some help, I can come and help out. I'll bring my PC and two network cards. Will install it via the network. If a lot more people are interested then maybe we can have a LINUX intro here at CSUSB. And everybody BYONC or BYOTD BYONC = Bring your own network cards. BYOTD = Bring your own tape drive.

Why not vote for a school club that deals with all the UN*X's out there like FREEBSD, NETBSD, BSDI, Novell's Unixware SVR4, SCO UNIX, AIX, IRIX, LINUX!! and more. How about a club dealing with all the Posix compliant UN*X's. As for the becoming a club. We would need an advisor (AKA sponsor), it seems that none of the faculty has replied or added something to this discussion. > Include me in the group.

It's now in hypertext form and can be viewed via MOSAIC, NETSCAPE or CELLO. URL: http://www/dick/SLIP.FAQ.html If you are a macintosh user and wants to contribute to my efforts in making this information available to all then please do so. I need some info on how to get it working with the macintosh Got it working with LINUX FREEBSD MSDOS (WINDOWS) WINDOWS (NT) AMIGA (AMITCP) but alas, no System 7.X system yet.. LINUX USERS, if you have a slip connect here, then you better upgrade them sendmails. Sendmail-8.6.9 has some major security problems. Go get Sendmail-8.6.10. It fixes the security holes.

It is some kind of microkernel that allows emulation of different operating system environments. I saw on the FreeBSD lists that it has compiled successfully under FreeBSD. Apparently you can run applications from many different operating systems. This is supposed to work with Linux too. I'm afraid I'm somewhat ignorant on exactly what it does, though.
