However, there are some questions I have about it. I am looking to start either a Quake or Quake2 server. I am pretty 'dumb' when it comes to operating systems other than WIndows95, NT, etc. Early in 1998 I am able to buy a P200 or 233/32MgRam/1.2GbHDD as the server. I an also going to get a permanent connecting to my ISP via a 64K ISDN line (hopefully). Now for the questions. Can the FreeBSD program be an operating system on a stand alone/server or does it need other software components? If so, is it possible to run either Quake or Quake2 on it? Is the program a GUI or command line? And would the FreeBSD program be sufficient for my purposes or would I be better of running a UNIX system. Any help would be much appreciated, Many thanks, Leigh.
