(please don't laugh when you read this.) I am beginning the long process of ridding myself of Microsoft products and at the core of my systems I plan to implement 100% FreeBSD. I have been unable to find any books related to FreeBSD. I know it is suppose to be a port of the original UCB UNIX but does that mean that I can get a book on UNIX administration and apply that knowledge to a FreeBSD OS running on a quad zeon or PIII server with Level 5 Raid? Also, I have been doing quite a bit of research and have decided on the following setup for a large database driven web service that we will be undertaking and releasing under the General Public License. I would like any input you have on the following core system I plan to implement. OS: FreeBSD Web Server: Apache Jserv & mod_perl & possibly (EMBPerl) Database: Oracle 8.X DNS: FreeBSD running BIND Also, there is no User Group in Washington D.C. and we would like to start one. I am currently an active member with several user groups involved with the Windows NT technology including NTServer, Visual Interdev User Group (WAVI), and MSSQL User group. I Know of several dozen individuals that are currently looking for alternatives to Micro$oft system. Please let me know what I need to do to establish the Washington D.C. FreeBSD user group. Thanks for you help in advance. Kind Regards, Chris Grady To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
