The problem I'm having is finding the difference between linux and freeBSD. Is there any? If there is, what are they? Hmmm......, an "alternative" ? IMHO its rather impossible to dump Windoze completely. If you want to use all the nicenst things that flow around in the net. So, see if you can get a second old box, an old pentium or an old 486. How much hardware have you ? H. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
