FreeBSD is an operating system. This is a piece of computer software that provides the essentials of modern computing. FreeBSD is a UNIX clone operating system, meaning that it bears great resemblance to the UNIX operating system written originally at AT&T Bell Labs. FreeBSD is *free*. The only thing it will cost you is the cost of your internet connection over which you download it. It is also available on CD-ROM for a fee from Walnut Creek CDROMs (http://www.cdrom.com). You are encouraged to look around http://www.freebsd.org for more details. > > you can see from my questions, that I at present am at a loss. > > Please clear up what service you provide. > > Respectfully submitted > > bb > Nadav
