Why Linux, Why not 386BSD ?

        Hi,

        Before installing one unix clone, I would appreciate to know the defaults of
each system, and why you choose Linux against others unix systems.

Many thanks

Denis

I believe the original poster was asking about *free* BSD systems, such
as FreeBSD or NetBSD.  Perhaps your summary would be less skewed then.
To the original poster: the faq dealing with your specific question will
be forthcoming in the near future (no, it will not be a religious war,
just a plain comparison).

The original poster mentioned _specifically_ BSD386 which is sold by BSDI.
No where in the original post did anyone mention FreeBSD or NetBSD.

Seems like someone is promoting a FAQ.  That's okay.  But it's easy to
go back and read the original post.  BSD386 and Linux was the question.

Linux:    Free     Active support worldwide
BSDI:   Not free   less active support worldwide

Linux:          No legal problems
BSDI:            Some Legal  Problems

Linux:    Actively supported in Europe (more than BSDI)

Linux:   On my hard drive - booting each and every day

1. Telnet & FTP lag - why why why???

Hi,

    We've been experiencing a *very annoying* FTP and Telnet lag over
our PPP connection to a NetBlazer at our downstream ISP.

This only occurs when FTP'ing or Telnetting *OUT* from this side of the
 PPP connection. This does NOT occur on incoming connections, and this
is not simply a "traffic issue".

We also run pppd for dialin clients, and there is no Telnet/FTP lag to
and from our dial-in clients. It only occurs over our "backbone"
connection to our ISP.

I have tried changing the mtu/mru to 296 - no change. I have tried the
-mru option, no change. Note that there is no lag when using other
protocols such as http.

We are running 1.1.54 and ppp-2.1.2b, a 115k 28.8 connection from the
linux box to a Netblazer, using Hayes Optima 288s.

Anyone who can fix or with similar experience, please reply.
Pat
