Re: out of curiousity...

BSD is another "flavor" of UNIX. Linux is a "Unix variant" in that "GNU's Not Unix". Many of the actual programs are different. Though you interact with them similarly, there are slight differences...in many cases just enough to be annoying, but not hinder your ability to use them. The licensing is also very different, but IMO you would only need concern yourself with that if you are doing software development where you are re-using the source code of BSD-style licensed software (Wikipedia may help explain that in more detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_license)

I understand there is a difference, but have never really heard what it is so to speak.
