You can choose the installation over the net from various servers. And generally, you have to read chapters number 20 and number 14.14 in the handbook to keep your sources up to date. > Greetings All, > I am new to FreeBSD but have a lot of Linux experience so I think that > the migration should not be too difficult. > The reason that I am investigating FreeBSD is because I hear that it > performs GREAT under heavy loads and many larger ISP are using it > without fail.
