I'm confused by what you mean by "more portable." Do you mean that it runs on more CPU architectures and platforms? Or do you mean more driver support, etc.? BS

I'm confused by what you mean by "more portable." Do you mean that it runs on more CPU architectures and platforms? Or do you mean more driver support, etc.? BSD can run a rather diverse set of platforms: http://www.netbsd.org/ports/ http://www.netbsd.org/ports/
- mjevans 10y agoI'm not confused, I assume they mean /more compatible/ (with hardware on the shelf).
- pantalaimon 10y agoAll of these (expect for VAX) are supported by Linux too
