Hi, I just ordered your Slakware CD, and then realized that you have chosen FreeBSD to run your server. I was wondering if I should have ordered FreeBSD instead? Do you have an opinion as to which is better? Here is some background/planned usage: I have a 166Mhz Pentium from Gateway with 32 MB of RAM and plenty of disk space for a complete install. I plan to install Unix (whichever on is best) on my D: drive which is a 500 MB partition on a 2.5GB drive. I am running Windows' 95. I do not have an direct Internet connection but plan to connect through a PPP line at my place of employment. I am a software engineer and will use this OS to do some X/Motif development. Given this information, which OS do you think I should choose? Thanks in advance, Steve Blackmon
