I would like to call your attention to an inaccuracy in your news article,
where you state:
You have an array of Linux flavors to choose from. Redhat, SUSE,
Mandrake, Debian, FreeBSD and about 100 plus others to pick from"
FreeBSD is not a Linux distribution, and is derived from a rewrite of
the 4.4BSD code, not the made-from-scratch Linux.
What you may be confusing is UNIX vs Linux. Linux is a type of UNIX, as
are the many kinds of BSD.
If you have any questions about this, i'd be happy to help clarify.
Regards,
Mit
