Err, you mean FreeBSD. "BSDI" is a company which produces a commercial version of BSD Unix known as BSD/OS. You can find out more about them at http://www.bsdi.com/ FreeBSD is a freely available version of BSD Unix maintained by volunteers. You can read all about _them_ at http://www.freebsd.org/ You can find FreeBSD's installation instructions at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html > What are all the functions and abilities does the FREE BSDI server have to > offer? > would I be able to run (WWW, FTP, DNS, Dial-up, EMAIL, account > management,PROXY ) services? Since the Internet as we know it today was originally built on BSD Unix, you can expect that FreeBSD can do anything a generic Internet server should be able to do, and do it superlatively well. That will include all the functions you mention above. -- V Johann Visagie | wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 | ICQ: 20645559 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
