>>>My comments below <snip> The ideal scenario (for me, anyway :) would be along these lines: 1) get a spare machine (something like P133 would be perfect), and put it next to your windows box ....... This is EXACTLY What I did. I got on ebay and bought a Pentium 166 w/ 32 MB RAM and a 1GB HD. I set BSD up just enough that I could telnet into it, then just put it in a closet with a netork cable and a power cable plugged in. Now I just telnet or SSH into at my whim. I use it all the time...its incredibly useful. Try your local college, they often have old computer for sale cheap. .matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
