Dear Sir or Madam, I'm interested in using FreeBSD as part of rearrengement of my professional skills. I'm currently studing Linux but I'd like to feel a bit of a true UNIX system. I noticed FreeBSD is presented in a 4 CD set case by FreeBSD Mall, for example. However, the download options are different. I supose the minimum I might download is: 4.8-RELEASE-i386-disk1.iso (610.4MB) 4.8-RELEASE-i386-disk2.iso (259.1MB) What is in fact the other 2 files? I.e.: 4.8-RELEASE-i386-mini.iso (199.6MB) and CHECKSUM.MD5 (203 bytes) Do I need them too? What shall be the 5.x release? What is the "new technology" you will include in it? I might probably buy it (a combo promotion of 4 CD set + Handbook 2nd edition). However I'd like to know a bit more about it first. Could you send me more information in order to clarify my doubts, please? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Kind regards, Bernardo +55 41 9911-2666
