Well, "current" is an overloaded term for FreeBSD, but I assume you mean the most recent version. In that case the answer is 'yes, but . . .' FreeBSD is a whole operating system, not an application, so it's quite large. The simplest way is to go to www.freebsd.org, and then following links: Getting FreeBSD -> FTP sites -> (pick one near you) -> ISO images. Get the image, burn it onto a CD using your CD-ROM burner and away you go. (Boot from the CD to start the install.) Note that, again, it's an O/S so you'll have to have room on your HD for it. if you don't have a CD-R drive, you can download the floppy images and do a a network install. Either way you're going to be downloading hundreds of megabytes of stuff, so you only want to do this if you have a broadband connection. > > if not, so plz let me know the way i can see a freebsd > box on my desktop. > and plz don't tell me about CD version, i just wanna > download it. > > please send me your "clear" answer. > thank you > a. nasseh > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!
