Thank you for your time. > > Joel Putnam The list will need more info on exactly how far you got into the installation and exactly where it broke and what your specific problems are. As for the applications AutoCad and Photoshop, as far as I know, you won't find them for BSD or Linux, although there are other somewhat analagous applications. Gimp (www.gimp.org) may be the closest thing to Photoshop for FreeBSD. I'm not sure about AutoCad, but I know there are CAD programs that have been ported to FreeBSD. In any event, it sounds like your installation issues are the first thing to worry about. It might also be good to determine now if FreeBSD is going to meet your needs.
