Question Proprietary vs. open Unix

Howdy all,

I've used various applications in the past that ran in unix and windoze and unfortunately several of those programs are migrating to a windoze only environment so management is bagging the proprietary unix boxes in the process. AArrgggghh So here's my question for all you serious unix types...

What is the difference between FreeBSD (for example) and more proprietary versions of unix like HP-UX or Solaris? Aren't they all built on rev 5 and generally adhere to the CDE? I'm sure there must be a few files or directories that are specific to a particular companies' version of unix so is there a way to find out what is different? Obviously what I'm going for is trying to run some of those unix apps on a FreeBSD box or something similar to that.

Thanks for any thoughts,

Bob
