+--- | I'm not sure this is the right LIST for this question. When | installing third-party software, most installation instructions quote | a plethora of generic UNIX-similar systems. When using FreeBSD | (2.1.6, in my case), which system do I use when FreeBSD is not called | out? I have successfully uses BSD4.4 in the past, but my current | project (QMail) only lists BSDI 2.0 that appears close. Am I safe in | following instructions for installing BSDI 2.x applications? +--- I run qmail, last time I installed (0.91, I know 0.95 is out), qmail figuired the system type out on its own and compiled clean. Just had to type "make". I haven't checked lately to see if there is a FreeBSD "port" for it yet, but even if not its one of the easiest things to compile. Great MTA as well. --Gene -- Gene W.
