Take a look at this: <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/introduction.html#BSD-LICENSE-RESTRICTIONS>; Items 1.3 and 1.5 should mostly answer your questions in terms of how much money freeBSD costs. Item 1.6 contains some information that may help to explain why. Of course, that isn't the complete answer. Actually getting FreeBSD will cost somewhat in money and time. (Something the same as the package price for MSWindows not being the total cost of MSWindows.) I'd explain further, but since I don't know whether your project is to actually build a server or to find out the costs of building a server, I hesitate. If it's the latter, I wouldn't want to do all your homework for you. Feel free to ask questions, but recognize that we aren't all here to do other people's homework for them. You'll probably want to look around the rest of the Frequently Asked Questions pages, the index is http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html Depending on the scope and focus of your project, you may want to look at the following two related OSses: http://www.netbsd.org http://www.openbsd.org You can find pages there with answers to Frequently Asked Questions, as well. -- Joel Rees <rees@ddcom.co.jp> digitcom, inc. $B3t<02q<R%G%8%3%`(B Kobe, Japan +81-78-672-8800 ** <http://www.ddcom.co.jp>; **
