FreeBSD is free for ALL users and uses. If you have a fast connection or at least a dependable one you can download it off the internet. The only thing that you may pay for is the CD from Walnut Creek, or from another vendor.

Although I don't run any linux programs I think to recall that the emulation in the upcoming version 3 of FreeBSD is able to run more Linux programs. ---- francisco@natserv.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
