Hi, > How Long Will It Take To Download FreeBSD On A 33.6 K/S Modem? Well, this is highly dependent on transfer rates on the Net from wherever you download to your ISP. That said there is a Canadian mirror: www.ca.freebsd.org You should also set your install to go from the Canadian FTP mirror: ftp.ca.freebsd.org > How Big Is FreeBSD In Minimal and Full Install? Minimal install is around 60 MB as I recall. Full install - that depends on what you mean by "full." If you mean every port/package .. BIG. Just getting X and the minimal will get you ... say 180 MB? Not sure. > Where Can I Get Some Images or Screen Shots Of FreeBSD? Well, without X it looks just like an ASCII terminal. With X it can look like just about anything. For some examples of FreeBSD desktops you can see: http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/screen.html But since Linux and FreeBSD can use the same X distribution you can make your desktop look like anything you see at any of the number of window manager sites. A good place to start for window managers is: http://www.Plig.Net/xwinman Good luck!
