I am one of those that wants to add more folks, at the risk of getting more folks that need handholding, so I want to dumb one thing down, and add reference to our port collection (indirectly). I took out the place where the word "source" was (I think that might scare some folks) but left in where it said "compile your own kernel". Really just a matter of cutting and pasting, mostly (Wonderful job, Annelise!) That said, I'm not going to directly include what Annelise wrote, I am cutting and pasting her two options in what pleases me best. I expect (hope for) more criticism! Understand that she wrote this, I don't want you thinking it's my idea (I wish it was...) [steal mode on] FreeBSD: The Operating System of the Internet You've hacked the '95 registry and downloaded powertoys-- and discovered that they're just that, toys. You've gone about as far as you can go with Windows 95. You're in a box that Microsoft built. It's time to get out. You're ready for a real operating system for your pc -- multi-user, multi-tasking, Internet capable--not only as a client, but as a server. An operating system in the great tradition of Berkeley unix, with hundreds of ready to run, free applications. You don't just want to connect to an ISP....you're thinking of becoming one. You want to write your own bot, run your own web server, compile your own kernel, hack the system code. Make the world. [back to me] I think that's really something. How about some suggestions for various graphics? More than one, please, this is sounding like a brochure, not a one pager, so multiple graphics would be needed. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
