Hey everybody... I just read the entire web page for FreeBSD (http://www.freebsd.org) and was just wondering a few things. 1) How much space does one need for the OS, including mainly the developement tools, (C/C++ compiler, and the editors...) 2) Does anyone have a dial-up script out there for SLIP/PPP users such as myself? I'd like to be able to dial my ISP from inside FreeBSD (is this possible) 3) I plan on using the FreeBSD OS for MUD (Multi User Dungeon) developement...Is there any special settings I need for FreeBSD to include in certain (the PICO editor, grep, and the GNU Compiler) Or are these Standard? 4) I also noticed that there was something called X Windows, is this another actuall OS that you can run from inside FreeBSD in order to see graphics, or is it just sorta there to help lynx out a bit? I'm pretty new with FreeBSD, but I see the potential is definatley there for it to be a great OS for myself, I hope that someone can help me out with my questions Thanks... --Ray
