Re: [orca-list] Is Orca compatible with Fedora

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

It is indeed important to make the distinction.  Having said that, I have
heard that it is quite easy for someone who knows Linux to translate their
knowledge to the Unix world.  I have also heard that it is not as easy for a
Unix person to move to Linux though for some reason.  You could probably do
quite a bit towards learning Unix using Linux by installing the Korn shell
since that is Unix's default.  Linux uses Bash or ZSH.

Hi Alex,

Agreed. I think a distinction should be made between Unix and Linux.
Although, similar they are not the same thing, and it should be pointed out
to the unlearned that there is a difference. I am not going to go through
all the specifics here but there is quite a bit of difference between say
FreeBSD and say Fedora Linux.

Cheers!
