I > NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE FULL COMMERCIAL VERSION AND ALSO THE SERIAL NUMBER. > THANK YOU. I can't decide if you are serious or not, but assuming you are. First, there is no such thing as a "shareware" version of FreeBSD. It is free. And free is all there is. Secondly, even more emphatically there is no such thing as a commercial version of FreeBSD. There is only the free FreeBSD. Some companies put out a CD set and charge for that service, but you can also download the same thing for free from the FreeBSD web site or one of its many mirrors. Third, there is no such thing as a FreeBSD serial number to record or register. It is up to you to keep up to date on fixes, patches and new releases and no one is gong to chase you down and make sure you haven't installed it on any unregistered machines. Fourth, FreeBSD is an excellent operating system. I have no idea what you have acquired, but maybe it is either not really FreeBSD or you don't have any idea of what you are doing. Fifth, if you know enough to have acquired FreeBSD and installed it to check it out and/or enough to have posted your message to this FreeBSD-questions Email list, you already should know enough to check out the FreeBSD web site at: http://www.freebsd.org/ and already know items first through fourth above and so I wonder why you are posting such a message in the first place. It is not even April 1. ////jerry > > _____________________________________________________________ > Die kostenlose WebMail fuer alle Canada-Freunde - www.canadamail.de > Ein Service von CDN.de - Die KANADA-Suchmaschine - www.CDN.de > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Kanada-Aktuell - das neue Print-Magazin für alle Kanada-Interessierten - > http://www.kanada-aktuell.com - kostenloses Probeheft bitte anfordern > unter: info@kanada-aktuell.com. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _____________________________________________________________ > Promote your group and strengthen ties to your members with email@yourgroup.org by Everyone.net http://www.everyone.net/?btn=tag > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
