Anish, Thanks this is good info. I'll be using this server for development of a Ruby on Rails. Currently I do development on a Mac. My production server is running freeBSD 5.3 I want a development environment which is closer to production than my Mac is. -Dan On 6/17/06, Anish Mistry <amistry@am-productions.biz> wrote: > > On Saturday 17 June 2006 13:50, Dan Bikle wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I need a freebsd 5.3 desktop server. > You probably don't want 5.3 as it will be EOL'd in a few months.
