The approach I took was to install FreeBSD within VMWare (http://www.vmware.com) so I could get used to the new install and take it for a test drive before commiting a machine to it. FYI, I have since dumped Linux on my gateway box and am using FreeBSD 4.2-stable with ipfw/natd and LOVE IT! -- Best Regards, Eric Johnson (eric@coding-zone.com && http://www.coding-zone.com) /home/eric [eric@coding-zone]$ /usr/games/fortune -s phosflink: To flick a bulb on and off when it burns out (as if, somehow, that will bring it back to life). -- "Sniglets", Rich Hall & Friends To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
