FreeBSD, Linux, or other PC Unixes?
| 
Jan 21 15:58 UTC 1999 |
I'm trying to sort out all of the various Unixes
available for the PC. I was hoping for some help
sorting out the various incarnations of Linux, as
well as FreeBSD and perhaps the other PC-based
BSD's.

I recently put together a Pentium II, and am contemplating
installing some sort of Unix. I'm not quite sure what I want
to accomplish here, other than giving myself an environment
in which to learn more about Unix.
I have a 3Gig hard drive, with just over 2 Gig free. How big
a partition am I going to want for the Unix install?
Thanks a bunch!

I have found the following web sites:
http://www.freebsd.org seems to be the most useful site I've found, which
means at the moment I'm leaning towards FreeBSD...
http://www.redhat.com sounds good, if I feel like spending $$$ for a CD...
Although that kind of defeats the purpose of finding a cheap Unix installation
to play around with...
http://www.slackware.org doesn't impress me that much, but that might be
because of my cluelessness and not any inherant problem with their site.
Anyone know of any other sites that a newbie such as myself could turn to for
more information?
