My question is, can I use "FreeBSD Powerpack4.2" as a > replacement for WinME or will I have to use FreeBSD Desktop4.1. To replace Windows, any FreeBSD version will suffice. The BSD Desktop Edition includes FreeBSD, The Complete FreeBSD Book, ApplixWare Office Suite 5.0 and Partition Magic (Special Edition) FreeBSD Power Pak includes FreeBSD, the Toolkit, and The Complete FreeBSD Book. The Toolkit is neccessary to cut down download times on slow networks, thus I'd recommend the Power Pak if your connection to the internet is slow (modem, ISDN). FYI,FreeBSD is now at Version 4.3 -- you may prefer to order that.
