Hello there, I was wanted to register to your community site, and was not able to, due to the image verification icon not appearing on my web browser (IE 7) Since my computer duel boots, I was able to check both my vista and xp browsers and was still not able to log in to your site. I will now check at work to ensure this isn't one of my systems and will get back to you. Thank you. Kevin. P.S. I was hoping to ask the question that if FreeBSD is for me. (I realize that you might not answer this question, and that is fine. No hurt in asking, right?) I have tried other Linux distros like SME, ClackConnect, etc. (Realizing that FreeBSD is not a Linux distro) Here is my hardware Sun Microsystems Motherboard with a Xeon processor at 2.4 512 Ram 1 Matrox hard drive 80 gig 1 WD hard drive 80 gig 1 Matrox hard drive 120 gig Onboard Gig LAN card 3Com LAN card Here is idea system ISP --->Server (FreeBDS) ----> DD-WRT Wireless Router/Switch-----> LAN (had a huge problem trying to get my DD-WRT to work as a Switch rather than a Router) Here is what I current have setup ISP----> DD-WRT Wireless Router (With NAT) ------> LAN with Server (ClackConnect under DMZ) Is what I like to do. Run the Server similar to a company setup. . Email, Share Drives, Proxy server, Print Server, Firewall, NAT, etc . Raid 1 - Simple Mirror the two 80, with the 120 as a Spare for extra file sharing etc. . Webserver - PHP (Even thou I have really no idea how it works etc), Forums, etc . Ventrilo and TeamSpeak support . External USB Backup . Remote Desktop access (VPN possible), but I am able to access my computer through DD-WRT And I think that's it. Realizing that I don't expect any of the Distro to do this for me, but if the How Tos are clean and for anyone with little or no experience in Linux (I have some experience with Dos, ah the good old days) than I am more than willing to do it myself. (I find most of the How Tos very focused on experience Linux users) I am just trying to ensure that I have a secure webserver.
