ALL04 Linux and BSD - A Comparison between the Basic Operating Systems

The philosopy of Unix systems strongly differs from typical PC destop environments like OS/2 and Windows. These are not evident for people migrating to this systems, even though during the last years, Linux tries to adapt Microsoft's way of user experience.

The architecture of BSD systems is different from that. The presentation will discuss the structure and philosophy of BSD operating systems, with focus on the differences to Linux, and will explain the totally different approach, compared to OS/2 and Windows, of strictly separating between kernel, userland, and distribution, which is more strict than in Linux. The presentation will also show the typical way of software installation in BSD.

This presentation will be held in German.
