OK, I've been working with RedHat for over a year and have become fairly decent with Linux. Now, my next challange is to conquer FreeBSD. (I'm reviewing each so as to better consult my clients) anyway, I created the boot disk, installed FreeBsd 2.2.8 and it is attached to the network just fine. I can telnet, ftp, etc. Now, my main objective is to create a web server. I selected the apache.xxx port and watched it install something, but it doesn't seem to be running. I don't see anything that looks like it in "ps aux" nor can I browse to it from my WinXX boxes. I found the /usr/ports/www/... series of directories, but everytime I launch the make command, it tries to go to the web and download stuff. Don't I have what I need on the CD? (I purchased it from LinuxMall for $1.89, big spender!) My question: What the heck are ports and where can I find documentation so that I can RTFM? Just get me started, please :) -- Edison Information Technologies P.O.
