Q: I have a spare Intel box to install Unix on, which version is the best?

A: There is no single "best" vendor. Intel machines can run Linux, *BSD, and Solaris. Linux is available from various vendors such as Redhat, Mandrake, Suse, Slackware, Debian, etc. Solaris costs approximately $75 for the source media, or you can download it for free from Sun's website. The download is approximately 800 megabytes. Other distributions range from $5 on up depending on the level of support you get with it. Many may also be downloaded for free from the Internet. If your goal is to simply learn Unix, any distribution will probably work. If you have a specific purpose in mind, please research the appropriate vendor websites to determine if their product will meet your needs.

DESCRIPTION

       allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on earth.  The project  was  started  because  most
       maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, pro-
       ductive or unexpected ways.
