Hi. Sorry about the HTML formatted email. I'm extremely interested in installation of a FreeBSD build on a Dell = Dimension XPS P133s 133 MHz / 16 MB RAM, with a S3 Trio 64+ PCI (765) = and D-Link DFE 530-TX PCI adapter. I've noted the HCL for version 5 (or = maybe it was 6?) but I figure I would do better to simply ask - what = version do I need to run with my current hardware, and what is the = highest version I can run on the machine that I plan to install on? = Before you get too far on the reply, please also consider that I = primarily want to use the computer for a webserver (for my LAN) in = console mode (I doubt a GUI is a good idea considering the hardware I'm = using. Oh, and sorry if this is inapproprite, but I have no experience with = UNIX and really need to learn it. I figured FreeBSD was my best shot at = it, based on what I've seen. I've been looking at 2.2.8 and it seems to = be a decent choice, but I do consider that you probably know more about = this than I do. Thanks for even reading, and doubly so if you can help! Gratefully, Miles
