Okay, have to add my 2c here, too...

Linux and BSD are both Unix operating systems and therefore similar.
But they started out as replacement of two different mainframe Unix
operating systems, therefore they differ. For example devices and
configuration files and directory structure sometimes are in different
styles. When I said that most Linux distros would adhere to common
standards, I meant that they use very similar style for the directory
structure and so on, which allows you to install software for one Linux
on another Linux without recompiling the software in many cases.

Anyone care to suggest what the percentage of downloads need to be compled vs just extracted to the appropriate directory and run? Anyone care to offer how often this needs to be done in dos,... drdos, romdos, freedos, msdos?
