What are the differences? SNIP for Unix, try this: http://opensolaris.org/index.html Unix is like a twilight zone version of Linux, somethings work the way you think it would, some things don't. (Unix users think the same thing only in reverse). Device names are very different, you will not have eth0, you will have (network card abreviation for the chipset)0. It will be vary confusing if you don't know your chipset and have more then one NIC. File system and HD formatting are vary different. File layout is very different. Commands are very similar. -- Damon L. Chesser damon@damtek.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/dchesser
