* Dino Rezes <nt_verwalter@hotmail.com> [20001101 19:04]: => => =>Hallo!! Hi => =>I want to buy the CD of FreeBSD (-> Walnut Creek CD-ROM (about 40$)) =>and I have some important questions: => =>I need a UNIX for the ICS and the Fixed disk release. => My question: Is FreeBSD able to do this?? And is it very difficult?? Not sure what ICS stands for... => =>I have an Intel P3 600 with 128 MB RAM and an ISDN "Fritz!" - Card. => Do you think, that there will be any problems (for example with the installation)??? I'm sure the hardware is okay except you have to read the handbook to see if the ISDN card will be supported - www.freebsd.org/handbook/ Look at the Supported Hardware section.. => =>I have read, that on the CD is also "X Window System (Xfree86 3.3.6). Can you => tell me, what it is?? It gives you a graphical interface where you can click..click the Windows way ;-) => =>For LINUX exists a program, which is called "Samba" that WINDOWS programs =>also run with LINUX, does something like this exists for FreeBSD, too? Yes, sir. It does and it is also named Samba, just like in Linux. => =>I thought, that the server will have FreeBSD and the clients Windows 98, =>will there be any problems??? Not any that I've ever known of but you as well as I that you will configure the server components, just like you do in Windows NT ;) => =>And what is with this DSL?? High speed connectivity via an ISP..as opposed to the slow modems..this is digital..not like the analogue modem.. => =>Do you know, if I'm allowed to make copies of the Software?? Because I also =>can download it on your website. Yes. Use the software in any way you like..FREEBSD..it is free!
