First of all, FreeBSD is an OS and it won't run on anything from MS. You can't run NT on Win 9x for example. You can share a system by multi-booting but that is it. The Asus motherboard's work well with FreeBSD. Where you will get into trouble is with the other hardware. Checkout the release you are interested in at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/ You will find most of the hardware in the release notes. There is a HARDWARE.TXT in the root directory of each release that contains much more specific informaiton. For example, see ftp://ftp3.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.2-RELEASE/HARDWARE.TXT. There is also one for 2.2.8-RELEASE. Questions you can't ask FreeBSD people are "will my video card do x-windows". That is an application and you have to visit their web site to check out hardware. See http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html No-No's on this list are SHOUTING and HTML based e-mail. The caps lock key is easy to turn off. Changing to a text based e-mail system requires changing your e-mail configuration. Set it to fold at 70 characters at the same time. HTML is usually considered bad form on any list server where they archive the messages and provide a search engine to access the archived messages. Search engines are provided for all of the FreeBSD lists. A lot of FreeBSD people use text based e-mailers. A slow machine runs really fast in text mode. HTML needs a windowing system of some sort and HTML makes your message unreadable on a text based emailer. -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA mailto:kstewart@3-cities.com http://www.3-cities.com/~kstewart/index.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
