Dear Very Helpful and Informative FreeBSD List,=0A=0AI installed FreeBSD on= Friday Night and tried very hard to get it all working. My initial X prob= lem actually fixed itself (you can imagine my surprise), however, even with= that, our computer is useless as a desktop (or anything else) without an i= nternet connection. My hardware is unsupported and despite my best efforts= , I decided it would be better to expedite the process and I installed Mepi= s Linux.=0A=0AI would hardly describe it the way another newbie did one wee= k ago. It was a good challenge. I'll wait until I'm a better administrato= r and there's more support for hardware I might have.=0A=0AThe only really = annoying thing was that I perpetually had trouble mounting my usb flash dri= ve. I think this was a filesystem problem.=0A=0AThanks for any help you've= offered,=0AJoel=0A =0AJoel J. Adamson =0AArlington, MA=0A=0A=0A=0A
