I use sendmail for my MTA. For an Email reader I actually use MUTT -- an older text based Email program. It is easier to handle large amounts of Email than the graphics oriented readers. Depends on where your Email comes to and lives. If it will come to and originate on the FreeBSD system, you can use the default sendmail that comes with it for your MTA and whatever you want for the reader/composer. If you really read and compose your Email on another machine like your ISP or on gmail or yahoo and access it with a browser, you don't actually need an Email reader utility. Although it is useful to have one that will work with your browser for those times you want to click on one of those 'sendto' Email links in a web page. You don't need openoffice for Email, but it is good for wordprocessing and spreadsheets and stuff like that. > > for ram and disk space how do i see how much i have on my machine If you have W98 running on it I think you fish around in your control panel page or my computer or something like that. If you have alread wiped W98 and can boot the install disk, you can look at the boot messages. > and > were do i download free bsd from > I think you need to go to the FreeBSD web site www.freebsd.org and start reading. It is all there and more, especially including where to get the ISO files for downloading and how to do the install. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
