Cool! I moved from linux to Freebsd about 3 months ago, and I love it. 1. That depends on how familiar you are to DNS and POP3. Setting up a DNS server is not complex and it is well documented. Telnet, FTP, and SMTP (sendmail) are set up on install. 2. From what I have read on the 'net, freebsd is faster than linux, especially in the networking arena. 3. A long thread discussed yesterday will give you the answer; search the archives.
