The questions I had in mind are: . What type of OS is it? Is it single/multi user, multitasking, what family does it belong to? . General features (at least three)? Firewall, GUI, Networking and so on. . Minimum Hardware Requirements? Processors, RAM, Hard drive space, type of monitors and so on. . File system supported? . Applications (at least three)? eg. wordprocessing and so on. It would be very helpful if you could just pass on this email to someone who has experience with FreeBSD. Yours sincerely, Julian Manning
