Greetings All, I am new to FreeBSD but have a lot of Linux experience so I think that the migration should not be too difficult. The reason that I am investigating FreeBSD is because I hear that it performs GREAT under heavy loads and many larger ISP are using it without fail. In my experience, Linux, although a great OS, seems to bog down under heavy loading. I could be wrong though and it could have just been to misconfiguration on my part. Well, I have a base installation of FreeBSD 4.11 which is needed for a particular project but now need to compile the kernel to support QUOTA's. My question is how do I install the sources over the web so that I can compile the kernel to support quotas? The FreeBSD docs tell a little, but mostly assume that you have the sources already on the system to compile which I do not have and need to download them. If some one could please give me a little guidance then I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Lonnie
