Hi everyone, So I go over to a friend's house and he's got all of his computers running this OS called "FreeBSD". I do my trademark eyebrow raise and he hands me a set of CDs. 3.1-Release. We spent the afternoon trying to install it on my Windows 98 box. Got a second HD to put FreeBSD on and started hacking away. We didn't get too far, X doesn't like my video card (ATI Rage Fury) and there's no drivers for my sound card (SBLive). I'm not new to computers by a long shot, but I've never really touched unix beyond the shell accounts I had with ISPs of way back in the days before PPP and 14.4kbps modems. I've never tried running my own unix system, so it will be quite the learning experience I hope.
