11/2 What's the difference between a BSD derived OS and an SVR4 derived
OS? No, this is not a geek flame bait. --geek
\_ One is based on the freely-distributable codebase from
UCB, the other is based on code licensed from Unix System
Labs (formerly owned by AT&T, then Novell, now SCO).
SysVR4 folded in lots of BSD stuff though.
\_ depends WHICH SVR4 derived OS. Solaris has lotsandlotsa
BSDstuff. Main differences:
* ps is different
* df needs -k flag on SVR4
* boottime scripts are different
kernel wise... supopsedly, SVR4 does better IPC or something.
\_ well it does IPC differently. sysV is big on 'streams'
\_ oh and the tty interface is very different. ttyent vs. sgtty.
\_ "ps -aux" (BSD) versus "ps -ef" (SVR4) |
