> What is the consensus here on the best way to acquire FreeBsd? > Download it off the FTP site or order the CDROM distribution? If Personally I like the cd myself. You need a direct connection to install via ftp (you make a boot disk and tell it to get the files). Its simply a bit easier for most people to either buy the cds (and support the project), or download the iso and burn a copy. The CDs are bootable, fast, easy to give away, and of course duplicate for others. Mainly, though, it depends on your connection and how frequently you plan on installing, etc. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
