[MLB-WIRELESS] OS File system compatibility

[Robert Tchia]

Here come the next questions...

Are there any differences between FreeBSD and OpenBSD. If so, which is
easier for *nix beginner.

Most importantly, which one is better for our application? I like to use
it as a node router.

This might have been covered before...
If people who are willing to donate their roof/tower space and
equipments but would like melb-wireless Inc members to maintain. Should
melb-wireless Inc have a standard OS to use for a routing node? 


Cheers
Rob
